Emmy nominated television personality, radio broadcaster, and podcaster, Rashad Richey recently was honored with the Global Media Icon Award at the Black Media Honors award show airing on Fox Soul TV. This distinction highlights Dr. Richey’s impact and voice in urban media and beyond. Other awardees included Rickey Smiley of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, Jeff Johnson, Stellar Award Winning Gospel Singer Yanna Crawle and others.

Richey’s highly successful daily TV show, ‘Indisputable with Dr. Rashad Richey’ airs on The Young Turks Network and multiple linear television networks including Comcast Xfinity X1, Xfinity Flex, Samsung TV Plus, Xumo TV, Roku, Pluto TV, YouTube TV, and all TYT’s digital platforms, which include TYT.com/Live, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch.


‘Indisputable’ averages well over 1-million viewers a day. Richey covers national news stories and debates Conservative leaning pundits and politicians about pressing social issues facing America. ‘Indisputable’ is also available on Apple Podcast, Acast and other platforms.

Richey’s roots started in radio roughly 7-years ago. The award-winning Rashad Richey Morning Show airs on News & Talk 1380-WAOK in Atlanta, GA where Richey was voted ‘Best Talk Radio Personality in Atlanta’ by readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, making him the first African American to receive this distinction from the AJC. In 2020, Richey was deemed ‘Most Trusted Voice in Atlanta’ by the Atlanta Business Journal.


Richey is the political analyst for CBS News Atlanta, The People’s Station V-103 FM, Straight Arrow News and occasionally provides political commentary on MSNBC, The Fox News Channel and Black News Channel
.
While many know Richey nationally for his intelligent and ‘take no bull’ approach on the airwaves, it’s what he does off-air that has endeared him to many local communities. In addition to being president of Rolling Out and a noted university lecturer, Richey was recently honored with the White House Presidential Volunteer Services Award for his work with gang-affected and gang-affiliated youth.

Richey is a rarity in broadcast media. When asked about being honored by Empower Media Group and the 2021 Black Media Honors, Richey said, “I’m thankful for this honor and love what Black media professionals are doing across America to change the narrative. We must continue fighting for truth, fairness and equitable outcomes. I accept this award on behalf of the communities I fight for daily”.
