Reach Media To Syndicate Amanda Seales
• Reach Media has announced a deal with Amanda Seales, comedian, multi-hyphenate, and social justice advocate to host The Amanda Seales Show (and accompanying podcast), which premieres on Nov. 7 on Radio One’s WRNB (100.3 RnB)/Philadelphia and will be available for distribution to additional stations. Seales will be joined in this new project by co-host Marc “DJ Nailz” Dixon, APD/midday talent on Radio One’s WCKX (Power 107.5)/Columbus, OH.
“We are extremely excited to be launching a new show with Amanda Seales,” said David Kantor, CEO of Urban One’s Radio One & Reach Media divisions. “A fresh show with a female host focused on the future. Amanda is a very versatile talent, excelling as a comedian, speaker, actress and social influencer.”
Colby Tyner, SVP of Programming for Radio One and Reach Media, remarked, “From her Smart Funny & Black show to HBO’s Insecure, Amanda is an exceptional creative force who uses her comedic and social media skills to entertain but also enlighten audiences. It only makes sense to now add a daily syndicated radio show. We look forward to working with and sharing her amazing content.”
Seales said, “I am beyond excited to be partnering with Radio One and Reach Media to launch The Amanda Seales Show. After years of sticking with my brand of comedy and academy to cultivate a community, this feels like more than an opportunity, but a purpose-filled possibility to empower and change minds using humor to translate the truth.”
