Cliff Russell, a former radio reporter and ex-press secretary for Mayor Dennis Archer, will fill the radio slot that the late Angelo Henderson held on WCHB.
In a posting on his Facebook page, Russell wrote:
I am pleased and honored to announce that I have been hired to host “Detroit Speaks with Cliff Russell” (Mon. thru Fri., 10 am – 1 pm) on AM 1200 - 99.9 FM WCHB. I’ve been filling in as host for the past two-and-a-half weeks, but I will officially begin hosting the midday program on Monday, May 12th.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and offered positive feedback. I especially want to thank Felecia Henderson, widow of the late, great Angelo Henderson, whose friendship and support have inspired me. We are determined to provide Detroit with informative, entertaining, quality programming that is worthy of your continued listenership.
Russell worked at a number of local radio stations including WJR, WDET, WJZZ, WCXI, CKLW, WWJ, WCHB, and WQBH. He also was once a weekly columnist for the Detroit Free Press.
Before hosting the radio show, Angelo Henderson worked at the Detroit News and at the Wall Street Journal in Detroit where he won a Pulitzer prize. He died in February.
