Urban One Welcomes Joy Taylor
• In an expansion of its cross-platform audio strategy, radio veteran Joy Taylor is joining Urban One to launch The Daily Play with Joy Taylor. This new short-form sports commentary series will be available on all podcast platforms as part of the Urban One Podcast Network, and will also run exclusively across select Radio One stations and REACH Media nationally syndicated programs reaching millions of consumers every week.
Airing weekdays year-round, Taylor delivers 5-10 minutes of sharp insight, authentic commentary, and cultural depth, offering perspective on the headlines that matter most. The show is built on the philosophy that “nobody breaks down the game like a woman who actually knows it.” One-minute daily “cutdown” segments will also air during drive-time.
“I wanted to create something fast, focused, and always authentic,” said Taylor. “Sports fans are busy, but they want the context behind the conversation. With The Daily Play, I’m giving them what it means and what to watch next — in just a few minutes. Joining Urban One allows me to talk directly to a loyal, engaged audience across the country. I’m excited to get back to my radio roots!”
“We aren’t just launching a podcast; we are bringing one of the most insightful voices in sports to a national stage,” said Dre Smith, Sr. Director, Podcast Operations. “Joy’s addition represents a shift in how we deliver daily sports content. She has an unmatched ability to connect culture and competition, and by integrating Joy across Urban One’s audio ecosystem, we are making The Daily Play an essential part of the sports fan’s daily routine.” More information about The Daily Play is posted HERE.
