Syndication One News/Talk Radio Network to Broadcast on XM Satellite Radio

(July 27, 2007) Radio One, Inc. has announced Syndication One News/Talk Radio Network will broadcast The Al Sharpton Show "Keeping It Real," The 2 Live Stews and The Warren Ballentine Show on XM Satellite Radio's "The Power" (XM Channel 169) beginning Monday August 13th.

Launched in January 2006, Syndication One programming airs on 25 local news/talk stations across the country providing engaging and compelling talk shows from 10am to 7pm Monday through Friday.

"The launch of our three Syndication One Shows on XM Channel 169 - The Power gives these programs the nationwide reach they truly deserve. We are thrilled that we were able to partner with XM to extend these shows to new audiences all over the country," said Zemira Jones, VP of Operations for Radio One.

"This is a major boost and I am excited that people will be able to hear it everywhere," said Reverend Sharpton. The Al Sharpton Show "Keeping It Real," features Reverend Sharpton tackling a range of issues from national news stories, key issues impacting people of color, presidential politics, and more. The show airs daily from 1-4 p.m. ET on stations in over 30 markets and online at www.sharptontalk.net.

The 2 Live Stews are Brothers Doug and Ryan Stewart. They are revolutionizing the world of sports talk radio with high energy, interviews with the hottest athletes, celebrities and interesting topics that bring something new to the "old school" sports talk format. The show airs daily from 4-7 p.m. ET, and online at www.2livestewstalk.net.

"We're extremely excited to be taking our brand of sports talk to XM and expanding our audience. Our main concern is reaching as many listeners as possible and this new move by our network certainly accomplishes that," said Ryan Stewart. "Now more people than ever can have an exciting alternative to traditional sports talk...XM listeners, 'Welcome to the Dogghouse.'"

The Warren Ballentine Show features Warren Ballentine, "The People's Attorney." The listeners he calls his "Truth Fighters" have an open and frank discussion each weekday about legal issues, politics, education, religion, sex, and anything else that's topical. During his three hours of "thought radio," Warren shoots straight from the hip and inspires his listeners to not just complain, but to take action to solve problems. The show airs daily from 10am -1pm. ET, and online at www.truthfighter.com.

"I look forward to talking with and empowering these two great listening audiences," Ballantine said. "This is truly a great day in radio for Truth Fighters everywhere, for on my show you will always get just that...the truth."

Separately Radio One also announced that it has named Andrew Rosen VP/GM of its Philadelphia cluster of urban WPHI, gospel WPPZ and urban AC WRNB. Rosen most recently spent a year as an SVP for Cumulus, running the stations the company bought from Susquehanna in 2005; he left that post in April.

Before joining Cumulus, Rosen was RVP for Clear Channel/New York.

Radio One VP/Operations Zemira Jones said, "Andy Rosen is the right guy at the right time to lead the new team we are bringing together in Philadelphia. Andy has the experience and the skill set for the opportunities ahead of us, and we are glad to have him."

Earlier this month Radio One brought in former WVAZ/Chicago PD Elroy Smith to replace Daisy Davis as OM of its Philly properties.
