Rashad Richey, J.D., MBA, an Emmy-nominated national broadcaster, philanthropist, published author, university professor and the 2023 recipient of the Top Media Estate Award from MMCA/Comcast NBC Universal, has signed a national syndication deal with Agents & Strategies LLC to broadcast his morning show, “The Dr. Rashad Richey Morning Show” on radio stations across America and Canada.
Dr. Richey has provided listeners at News & Talk 1380-WAOK with invigorating debates, commentary, and interviews for close to 10 years, earning him the distinction of being named the “Most Trusted Voice in Atlanta” by the Atlanta Business Journal and voted “Best Talk Radio Personality” by readers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, making him the city’s first Black broadcaster to receive this distinction.
“WAOK listeners changed my life,” said Richey. “I’m thankful for the nod Rick Caffey and Jean Ross gave me on that faithful day roughly 10 years ago. And while I will no longer broadcast my morning show from the WAOK studio, I’m thankful for the collective work we’ve done together and the work we will continue to do moving forward. Just because we’re no longer under the same brand does not mean we are on different teams. National syndication will only enhance our ability to advocate and create lasting change.”
Many remember Dr. Richey from his days as the political analyst on CBS News Atlanta. He is currently the host of “The Dr. Rashad Richey Review” on SiriusXM Urban View Channel 126, and the daily television opinion news anchor for “Indisputable With Dr. Rashad Richey,” a nationally syndicated TV show through the TYT Network, ranked the “fastest-growing TV news show in America” with over three million viewers daily. The show’s corresponding YouTube and Facebook Watch pages have over 2.14 million combined subscribers/followers, and airs live on weekdays from 2:30 pm to 4 pm ET on Comcast Xfinity, Xfinity Flex, SamsungTV, RokuTV, PlutoTV, and other digital cable platforms.
“Indisputable” the podcast, which is available on virtually all podcasts platforms including iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, and others, has similar success, being ranked in the top 1% of most listened-to podcasts globally by podcast rating company Listen Notes.
