Reach Media Cancels The Amanda Seales Show
URBAN ONE’s REACH MEDIA division recently canceled THE AMANDA SEALES SHOW after a two-year run. The show launched in NOVEMBER 2022 on R&B WRNB (100.3)/PHILADELPHIA in mornings.
The show was also carried on in mornings on WCKX (POWER 107.5)/COLUMBUS OH and W293BV/WKCN-HD3 (HIP HOP 106.5)/COLUMBUS GA. It also aired in middays on six affiliates: WMMJ/WDCJ (MAJIC 102.3/92.7)/WASHINGTON DC, WOSF-HD2/W273DA (102.5 THE BLOCK)/CHARLOTTE, and WXGI/W258DC/W274BX (99.5/102.7 THE BOX)/RICHMOND VA.
AMANDA SEALES addressed the cancellation on INSTAGRAM, stating that affiliates found the show “too polarizing” and felt she was “not funny enough” because of her focus on politics and activism. She has since launched a three-day-per-week video series.
WRNB has replaced her show with REACH MEDIA (URBAN ONE) syndicated THE MORNING HUSTLE, hosted by PHILADELPHIA native KYLE SANTILLIAN and LORE’ L.
