Woods Takes Mornings @ WOL-AM/DC

• Radio One Urban Talk WOL-AM 1450/Washington has tapped veteran media personality Madelyne Woods to host an all-new morning show — The Morning Goods with Madelyne Woods, which debuts Monday, January 6. Woods will succeed Tom Joyner, who recently retired after 25 years of his syndicated show.

Kashon Powell, VP of Programming for Radio One, commented, “Madelyne is an iconic personality with a career that spans over two decades and having her on a legendary station such as WOL is a perfect match.” WOL-AM PD Ron Thompson added, “We’re excited about the Morning Goods with Madelyne Woods. We’re live; local and all about DC.”

For her part, Woods commented, “I’m very excited to get back to talk radio. To have the opportunity to do it on WOL, the station where Ms. Cathy Hughes blazed a trail for black women and Urban radio as a whole, is a dream come true. I want the show to be quick, smart, and witty. I want the DMV to wake up, feel good, and talk. We don’t talk to each other enough anymore, and it’s important that we focus on what’s real about ourselves and our community. We’re going to laugh, love and learn together, and be unapologetically black and proud with it.”
