ATLANTA, Nov. 7,
2011, 11:50 a.m.
- Sirius XM Radio's Joe Madison topped
Black
Talkers annual list of the 10 top black radio talk show
hosts in America.
"This award means the most because it comes from
the people," Madison said.
Madison beat Atlanta's Derrick Boazman, of CBS
Radio-owned WAOK-AM,
by more than 30 votes, according to the
black talk media covering
Web site.
In the closest year of voting ever, there were two
ties. There were ties between Helen Blocker-Adams and Michael
McFadden and Warren Ballentine and Bev Smith, who just lost her show
a few weeks ago but was included in the voting. The ties were broken based on who
has appeared on the list before.
This was also the first year that
BlogTalkRadio hosts were included.
