Al Sharpton's National Action Network has finally won a round in their intimidation game.
Sirius Satellite Radio has agreed to carry The Word Network among it's offerings. Officials of Sirius' primary competitor, XM Radio, were quoted in an article on Broadcasting|Cable's website this afternoon...
"We have informed NAN [the National Action Network] that we currently have a programming partnership with D.C.-area based Radio One, the nation’s largest African-American-owned radio company, which programs five channels including Spirit, the first national 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week gospel channel, and The Power, the first national African-American talk channel, featuring Joe Madison, D.C.’s own ‘Black Eagle,’" XM said in a statement.
XM Radio continues to resist constant threats and attacks from Sharpton and company.
Sharpton's group is also going after Dish Network, in an effort to force them to carry The Word's television signal.
