Rob 'Redding News Review' Offers Straight Political Talk on Atlanta's WAOK-AM

, , , ,

Radio talk show host Rob Redding describes himself as... "I’m an independent. I’m not one of these people who [is] beholding to anyone, not even to this president, who is black. The problem that I see [is] we continue to put all of our eggs in one basket. I’m not talking about going and becoming a Republican. I’m not talking about joining up with the conservatives. I’m talking about being on a political party plantation. We need to politically diversify in our approach to politics."

Rob Redding can be heard weeknights 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Atlanta's WAOK and from 4 to 7 p.m. ET on WIBB-AM in Macon, Ga., and WLMC-AM in South Carolina. Redding is profiled online at Rolling Out Magazine.

• Gayle King and Charles Barkley are finalizing a deal that would have them jointly lead a primetime hour each week on CNN, according to people familiar with the matter and multiple news sources. The pact is not complete and there is always the risk it may not come to fruition, one of these people says. CNN declined to make executives available for comment.

• Tavis Smiley owned Los Angeles talk station KBLA Talk 1580 donated $20,000 in scholarship money to the NABJLA and MPJI. Smiley says, “The National Association of Black Journalists of Los Angeles and the Minority Photo-Journalism Institute are making a tangible difference in our community by helping students pursue careers in journalism and communications. KBLA ‘Talk 1580’ strongly believes in enlightening, empowering and encouraging tomorrow’s reporters, editors and potential talk radio hosts. Hopefully, our scholarships make a difference.”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
