"Rocsi on the Radio" New Syndicated Urban Radio Show


Westwood One announced today the launch of a new 4-hour urban program hosted by radio and TV star Rocsi. "Rocsi on the Radio" will feature music from the most current urban and R&B artists, celebrity interviews, listener call-ins and segments such as the industry insider report Through the Wire and the listener interactive Roc the Mic. Rocsi on the Radio will debut nationwide on April 25, 2011.

“Rocsi has become one of the hottest superstars of the Hip-Hop and R&B music culture,” said Max Krasny, EVP Westwood One Entertainment. “Rocsi’s celebrity status, industry connections and extensive radio experience as co-host of BET’s 106 & Park Weekend Countdown will be a hit with both audiences and advertisers nationwide.”

“I have always been amazed at how radio can make personal, intimate connections with huge, diverse audiences,” said Rocsi. “I am excited to have the opportunity to host my own national show and couldn’t have a better partner than Westwood One.”

Since 2006, Rocsi has co-anchored (with Terrence J) BET’s flagship show, 106 & Park, which can be seen in 85 million households across the globe, from the U.S. to the U.K., from Canada to the Caribbean, from Jamaica to Japan. The New Orleans-bred, former Power 92 (WPWX) Chicago radio personality boasts a wealth of media experience. Before landing on BET in 2006, Rocsi developed her broadcasting talent with radio experience in the Chicago, Dallas, Boston and New Orleans markets. Rocsi also co-hosts Westwood One’s BET 106 & Park Weekend Countdown along with Terrence J.

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.”
