(Black PR Wire) LOS ANGELES: SmileyAudioMedia, Inc. announced today that “Tavis Smiley,” the nationally syndicated radio talk show, ranked #33 nationally (and the highest-rated talk show hosted by an African American) in the “2024 TALKERS Heavy Hundred.” TALKERS (commonly referred to as “TALKERS magazine”) is the leading trade publication serving the talk media industry in America. Last year, “Tavis Smiley” ranked #45, but since last year’s ranking, the show has grown its national syndication to now include more than 40 radio stations across the United States.

            “It’s an incredible honor to rank in the top third nationally and first among Black talk show hosts according to TALKERS magazine, the talk radio industry’s bible,” stated Tavis Smiley, owner of SmileyAudioMedia, Inc. and talk show host at his flagship station in Los Angeles, KBLA Talk 1580. “Our nationally syndicated show’s unapologetically progressive, insightful conversations with thought leaders, opinion makers, celebrities, authors and artists, plus socially conscious commentary that challenges listeners to re-examine their assumptions, clearly fills a large need among radio listeners.”
