On Jan. 2, Regal Media Group’s CEO/President Todd A. Smith took two aspiring journalists (one eighth grader and one 12th grader) to a live sports radio broadcast hosted by Houston Chronicle sports columnist Jerome Solomon and program director Dave Tepper.
The students are members of Mufasa’s Pride, a group of boys from Fountain of Praise church in Houston who are mentored by successful and positive Black men.
Employees at Gow Media (home of ESPN 97.5 FM and Yahoo Sports Radio 1560 AM) guided the two young men on a tour of the studio and even allowed them to sit in on an interview recording with the former general manager of the New York Jets, Mike Tannenbaum.
