V-103 Atlanta Launches V-103 International on WVEE HD2

Entercom, a leading media and entertainment company and one of the two largest radio broadcasters in the U.S., announced the launch of V-103 International (WVEE-HD2) in Atlanta. The station, which is powered by the U.S. Census Bureau, will feature a wide range of genres including afro beats, dance hall, reggae, soca, hip hop, top 40 and big chune, and will serve as a complement to sister station V-103 (WVEE-FM).
 As part of the launch, on-air personalities Osei “The Dark Secret” Kweku and Mix Master David will expertly curate the station programmed by Reggie Rouse, Urban Format Captain, Entercom, and Brand Manager, V-103 (WVEE-FM). Osei and Mix Master David will co-host the “International Show” live on V-103 on Saturdays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.


“Atlanta is an international city and we have a responsibility to serve everyone in this great city 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” said Rouse. “V-103 International strives to build an inclusive community for those looking for a diverse and engaging listening experience, both in this great city and nationwide via RADIO.COM.”

Osei “The Dark Secret” Kweku has managed to merge his love for music and philanthropy into a trans-continental culture exchange by way of digital media. While attending Hampton University, Kweku launched his radio career as an on-air personality for 103.9 The Beat, hosting a variety of segments and interviewing some of the industry’s most notable figures. He has since been heard on airwaves in many cities along the East coast. In 2012, Kweku launched Dark Secret International which is dedicated to developing long term business relationships with African, Asian and Hispanic communities across the globe. Alongside his extensive body of work, Kweku’s not-for-profit organization, America to Africa, facilitates educational travel to his native Ghana for central-city Atlanta middle and high school students.

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.”
