ROBERT "ROB" REDDING JR, REDDING NEWS - Top officials at Radio One held
a money meeting with members of the Republican National Committee just
before canceling the shows of its progressive XM talk hosts, according
to sources. Alfred Liggins III, the company's president and chief
executive officer, recently met with RNC officials, according to two
sources, who asked not to be identified. The meeting happened just
before XM 169 The Power, which is run by the Lanham-based company, cut
the shows of black activist Mark Thompson and Ambrose Lane on July 26. .
.
Radio One programs XM 169 for XM Satellite Radio, which is in the
process of merging with Sirius Satellite Radio. Lane, host of "We
Ourselves," is a long-time Pacifica Radio personality with a penchant
for blaming the ills of the black community on "the corporate
plutocracy." Thompson, host of "Make it Plain," has been a key speaker
for the Nation of Islam's "Million Man March" and "Millions More
Movement.". . . Thompson and Lane have been replaced by conservative
host Raynard Jackson for the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. time slot on the network.
