Radio One's new talk network targeting Black audiences launches this morning.

The program line-up is:
Author Michael Eric Dyson (10 am to 1 pm ET)
The Rev Al Sharpton (1 pm to 4 pm ET)
Two Live Stews (Sports Talk 4 pm to 7 pm ET)

The initial announced station line up is:
WILD-AM 1090, Boston,
WOL-AM 1450, Washington, DC.
WVCG-AM 1080, Miami
WERE-AM 1300,Cleveland
WCHB-AM 1200, Detroit
WROU-AM 1240, Richmond
WPSB-AM 1320, Birmingham
All the stations except WPSB are owned by Radio One. Cox owns WPSB.

Unfortunately, it appears non of the stations has an online audio stream.

The network is a joint venture of Radio One and Reach Media, owned by Tom Joyner, whose morning Urban radio talk show is also syndicated by Radio One. However, Joyner's program is not a part of this new network.
