The new lineup will take effect on Monday, January 6 with “Truth Time” hosted by West and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner taking the 12pm hour currently featuring “The Millionaire?s Roundtable” with Lynn Richardson. Jackson Jr. will host the 1pm hour, with ?A More Perfect Union? with Dr. Nii-Quartelai Quartey moving from 1-2pm to 4-6pm. KBLA will continue to feature “First Things First” with Dominique Diprima from 6-9am, owner Tavis Smiley’s syndicated show from 9am-12pm, and Reach Media’s DL Hughley Show from 2-4pm.
Smiley said, “I am both humbled and deliciously proud that Dr. Cornel West, Nina Turner and Jesse Jackson Jr. have decided to join us at KBLA Talk 1580 as we continue to build the most innovative and empowering Black talk media platform in the nation. No talk station in America can match the intellectual firepower that we will be launching on Monday, January 6th. KBLA Talk 1580 is proud to have more Black women hosts than any talk station in the country including Dominque DiPrima, the first Black woman to host her own radio talk show in L.A. morning drive, and Adrianne Shropshire, Executive Director of BlackPAC. After all the bickering about Black men during the recent presidential campaign, now is the time to pass the mic to more Black men of different generations to facilitate conversations you won?t find anywhere else. It?s going to be a rough four years. This is what resistance looks like.”
