Nationally syndicated radio host Michael Baisden has announced that he is leaving radio. The host says that his official leave from radio will begin on April first of this year. According to his PR team, Baisden has an audience of seven million listeners and says that the hiatus is occurring after he was unable to come to terms when negotiating his new contract.
Baisden has been on the air for ten years and his team says that they did what they could to keep the show on the air.
“We’re already planning to return to the air as soon as possible in a way that will give the ’Michael Baisden Show’ a more direct relationship with our affiliates, and most importantly, our listeners,” cites Pamela Exum, his business manager.
The situation appears to be one in which leaving the air may be a negotiating tactic by Baisden’s team. Baisden keeps busy outside of radio, writing several best-selling books, including: ”Never Satisfied,” “Men Cry In The Dark,” “The Maintenance Man I and II,” and “God’s Gift to Women.”
Baisden was also heavily involved in the movement to support the Jena 6 and was one of the first to endorse Senator Barack Obama.
Says Baisden, “”It’s not about the job, it’s about the journey. I have been grinding for over 10 years, fighting for the underdog, inspiring people daily on my Michael Baisden Live Page on Facebook and working my b**t off to produce the best show on radio. I hope my fans miss me… because I’m definitely going to miss them,” Michael says. “But this is not the end, it’s the Next Chapter!”
