Ryan Cameron signs multi-year deal with Urban One Atlanta

Atlanta’s Ryan Cameron has plenty of reasons to celebrate after signing a multi-year deal with Urban One Atlanta and Reach Media.

The award-winning radio personality, actor, comedian and community advocate has signed the deal for his top-rated afternoon show “Ryan Cameron Uncensored Show,” Fox 5 Atlanta reports. It is broadcast on Radio One Urban AC’s “Majic 107.5/97.5” WAMJ/WUMJ Atlanta with syndication by sister company Reach Media across the United States.

“When you do what you love every day, it’s not work,” Cameron says. “My relationship with this company is historic and I look forward to our continued growth and success.” »

The two-time Emmy Award winner is honored as a distinguished member of the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame and made history as the first Black PA announcer for the Atlanta Hawks. His iconic “for3eeeeeeeee” call was immortalized when it was featured in the popular NBA 2k video game series.

The multi-year deal comes nearly 10 years after Cameron was recognized as one of Atlanta’s 55 Most Influential People by Atlanta Magazine. He’s also been among The Source’s top 20 hip-hop influencers for a decade.

On the philanthropy side, Cameron launched the Ryan Cameron Youth Leadership Academy in 2002 to provide high school students with opportunities in academics, leadership, career development, and promoting community engagement for a healthy lifestyle and anti-violence initiatives.

“Syndication was something I had been floating around for a while,” Cameron told AJC. “You have to be dominant in your market and we are doing very well. I also felt that the show could resonate elsewhere.

The “Ryan Cameron Uncensored Show” will be produced by Sam Sirmons and Raymond “Big Ray” Dyer. Other hosts on Reach Media 325 and 95 markets include comedians Rickey Smiley, DL Hughley, singer Erica Campbell and actress/comedian Amanda Seales.
