Two Top Execs Exit Radio One

Alejandro A. Clabiorne, vice president of marketing for the company, has given his notice and Lee Michaels, national program director for Syndication One News/Talk, has already left, three sources tell Redding News Review. Neither Clabiorne nor Michaels could be reached for comment. Their departures come as the company last week also lost another one of its key employees, talk radio star Joe Madison. Madison, who is ranked one of the top 20 talk radio show hosts in the nation and a recipient of Talkers magazine's Freedom of Speech Award, will now be working directly for rival XM 169 The Power starting in June. It is not clear if he will continue his longtime show on Radio One's WOL-AM in Washington, D.C. [source]
