"Madison joins the XM in-house programming team after a 10-year run with D.C.'s WOL-AM, where his popular morning show has been simulcast on The Power since XM's launch in the fall of 2001. Named one of Talker Magazine's 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts nine times and widely regarded as the nation's leading African-American activist talk radio host, Madison uses his microphone to bring attention to social injustices here and abroad while challenging listeners to take action. Madison's unyielding commitment to social activism has resulted in his incarceration for civil disobedience, hunger strikes in opposition to apartheid in South Africa and the genocide and slavery occurring in modern-day Sudan.
"The addition of Joe Madison to our in-house team underpins XM's commitment to outstanding African-American talk programming," said Nate Davis, CEO and President of XM. "The Black Eagle delivers for his listeners everyday. His engaging style is driven by his unmatched curiosity and awareness of the key civil rights issues around the world."
No word on what WOL plans to do. I figured he was just switching studios, but it looks like he's going solo with XM.
