DALLAS, Oct. 25,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amanda
Seales, comedian, multi-hyphenate, and social justice
advocate, can now add syndicated radio host to her growing list of
achievements, Reach Media announced today. The Amanda Seales syndicated radio show and
accompanying podcast premieres on November
7th on WRNB 100.3 FM Philadelphia and is
available for distribution to additional radio stations.
"I am beyond excited to be partnering with Radio One and Reach
Media to launch The Amanda Seales Show. After years
of sticking with my brand of comedy and academy to cultivate a
community, this feels like more than an opportunity, but a
purpose-filled possibility to empower and change minds using humor
to translate the truth," said Seales.
As leaders in mainstream urban, urban AC, and inspirational
music with the top talent in syndicated radio programing, Reach
Media connects with ninety percent of Black America.
"We are extremely excited to be launching a new show with
Amanda Seales. A fresh show with a
female host focused on the future. Amanda is a very versatile
talent, excelling as a comedian, speaker, actress and social
influencer," said David Kantor, CEO
of Urban One's Radio One and Reach Media divisions.
With an uncanny knack for using humor to make serious topics
(racism, politics, rape culture, sexism, police brutality, etc.)
relatable and interesting, she combines intellectual wit,
silliness, and a pop culture obsession to create her unique style
of "smart funny" content for the stage, screen, and now, radio.
Joined by co-host, Marc "DJ Nailz" Dixon of Power 105.7 Columbus,
audiences will get a full dose of the comedian's unfiltered
opinions, fact-based insights, and hilariously real point of view
each day.
Colby Tyner, Senior VP
Programming of Urban One's Radio One and Reach Media divisions, who
worked to bring the parties together said, "From her Smart Funny
& Black show to HBO's Insecure, Amanda is an
exceptional creative force who uses her comedic and social media
skills to entertain but also enlighten audiences. It only makes
sense to now add a daily syndicated radio show. We look forward to
working with and sharing her amazing content."
