“It’s been an honor to be apart of the very talented, unique, and hardworking Beasley Media team. I’m extremely proud and pleased with the work that Grown Man Radio has done collectively to enhance the overall branding, ratings, and revenue of WBAV both on line and on-air. I’m truly honored with the work that was and will continue to be done in the community.

Being on this team & serving the community has been rewarding and very fulfilling, and I’m grateful for the experience and opportunity. Special thanks to the listeners for their energy and support.

• 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.

• 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.”
