Each year, Atlanta Magazine, a popular publication serving the Greater Atlanta area, asks its readers to nominate the “Best Of” in a range of categories, from restaurants to media personalities, even bakeries. Thousands of readers participate annually and vote for their favorites. Once the readers have voted for nominees in the first round, the publication then releases the top vote-getters. Those who make the nomination had to clear a threshold with votes acquired. Now readers have to choose in a ballot-like online process, who is the best of them all. This year, award-winning multimedia personality, Dr. Rashad Richey, a well-known university professor and broadcaster, was nominated in several categories, setting the record for most nominations.
Readers nominated Richey for ‘Best TV Anchor’, for his live daily TV show, ‘Indisputable With Dr. Rashad Richey’, which airs 2:30pm EST and is shot live on weekdays in Atlanta, Georgia, syndicated on cable, streaming, and linear platforms through the TYT Network. He is also host of The Rashad Richey Morning Show on News & Talk 1380-WAOK, has a SiriusXM Urban View show called The Dr. Rashad Richey Review, and his podcast, Indisputable, which he does from his Atlanta studio, is in the top 5% of most listened-to podcasts in America according to multiple outlets. It was understandable readers would additionally nominate Richey for Best Radio DJ-Host, Best Local Podcast, and Best Radio Talk Show Host. But readers also nominated the opinionated broadcaster for Best Sports Anchor, where he tops Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe, and Best Meteorologist, with Al Roker in the second spot. Richey, who had not mentioned the poll on his radio show, was surprised by this, and said on his radio show Friday, “I appreciate the love everyone, truly I do, but don’t take away from people who really do work in the industry to show your appreciation for me. They are good people who work hard and I don’t ever want to take recognition away from those who deserve it… I know what that feels like and that’s not my spirit. Being nominated in television, podcast, and radio is a blessing. And we all know that Chesley McNeal is the best meteorologist in the game!”
According to the Atlanta Magazine website, the final round of voting is open now through September 30, 2023. You are allowed to vote once per day, per category. Readers can vote for as many categories as they would like, and you don’t need to vote in every category. Those who vote are also encouraged to share on their social media platforms to ensure their favorites garner as many votes as possible.
