Radio One Ends
The Redding News Review states…

Lee Michaels, national program director for Syndication One News/Talk and XM 169, told Redding News Review that Washington, D.C.-based XM will take over programming at Black-oriented talk Channel 169 The Power on Tuesday. รขโ‚ฌล“It has nothing to do with the programming, it has nothing to do with the people that work here,รขโ‚ฌย Michaels said. รขโ‚ฌล“It was strictly a business decision.รขโ‚ฌย He said Lanham, Md.-based Radio One had not made money on advertising for the joint venture with XM, where the chief focus is selling subscriptions. Radio One has been selling stations in non-core markets and blames “a challenging radio industry environment,” for a 40.2 percent decline in third-quarter earnings.
