download-2REACH Media Inc. announces that Reverend Al Sharpton’s radio show, Keepin’ it Real with Rev. Al Sharpton is now broadcasting live on 1190 AM WLIB Monday through Friday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm Easter Time. Sharpton has been a long presence in the New York market and now will be live daily discussing current topics, news, inspiration, and issues affecting African American communities.

Skip Dillard (WBLS and WLIB), Operations Manager WBLS/WLIB, states “Rev Al’s weekday show is a perfect fit for WLIB, a station with a history of both inspiration and information. Rev Sharpton has a long history with WBLS and WLIB. We’re super-excited to now have him at work with WLIB listeners each weekday!”

As the head of National Action Network, Sharpton has been applauded by both supporters and opponents for challenging the American political establishment to include all people in the dialogue, regardless of race, gender, class or beliefs. Few political figures have been more visible during the last two decades than Sharpton. His daily radio show, Keepin’ it Real with Rev. Al Sharpton broadcasts in syndication on more than 40 U.S. markets.

Senior Vice President of Programming, REACH Media Inc., Gary Bernstein attests “We appreciated the tremendous support from our former affiliation with WWRL, but the opportunity of a live clearance on WLIB from 1p to 3p in the biggest radio market in the country was the motivation for us to make the switch. We are also enhancing what has been a special relationship with our friends at YMF Media and WBLS/WLIB.”

  1. al sharptons keeping it real radio show about a year ago used to play a funky jazzy instrumental sometimes after commercial break ( a guy hums dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dit dee da da da ) does anyone know the artist that made this ? I called the station after they played it for 2 minutes and was told they didn’t know the name , I said can you transfer me to the engineer ? they said they could not and he would not know it , e.t.c. well now they don’t play it anymore , I called back and got better service this time ( but the song was taken out of the system ) this could have been taken care of when they had it. anyway it’s NOT the song that goes YEOW , KEEPIN IT REAL . any help will do fine.

  2. I am trying to find out the name of the music you mention later in your inquiry / “Keepin it Real..” Funky cool.

    • Cathy hello , I just noticed your comment , I was looking for the song and just came across your reply ( it’s been a long time) a few callers asked Al Sharpton who made the song ( yeow keepin it real) he said it was by. Jeff Major’s ! I looked on YouTube and a black guy named Jeff Major’s sings gospel -ish music ,but I couldn’t find him doing keeping it real. I wish I called and asked Al Sharpton about the song I asked about instead of those SORRY ASS young male and female that gave me the nonsense. Did you locate the song , or call the station ? Let me know.
