The Power is an African American talk radio channel on the XM Satellite Radio service. The subjects cover those relevant to the black community, be it politics, economics, or social issues.

The channel was originally programmed by Radio One, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based company specializing in African American and urban radio formats. Radio One originally programmed four other music channels for XM, but XM has since taken control of those channels and removed all commercials.

History

In August 2007, Radio One overhauled The Power's daytime programming by affiliating it with its Syndication One subsidiary, the company's syndication arm. Radio programs Keeping it Real with Rev. Al Sharpton, 2 Live Stews, and The Warren Ballentine Show were added to the scheduled on 2007-08-13. We Ourselves, Studio B, and Make it Plain are no longer heard on XM Radio.

A couple months later, Syndication One announced that it would be folding its unit, and several of their programs would be canceled. [cite news |first=Robert |last=Redding Jr. |title=More changes, Radio One to pull the plug on Syndication One |url=http://www.reddingnewsreview.com/newspages/2007newspages/radio_one_changes_07_091000228.htm |publisher=Redding News Review |date=2007-10-07 |accessdate=2007-10-08 ] One of these, the 2 Live Stews, was signed by Sporting News Radio.

On 2008-01-01, XM Satellite Radio gained full control of The Power from Radio One, Inc.. [cite news |first=Robert |last=Redding Jr. |title=Radio One to sever ties with XM |url=http://www.reddingnewsreview.com/newspages/2008newspages/radio_one_to_sever_ties_with_xm_08_091000001.htm |date=2008-01-01 |accessdate=2008-01-02 |publisher=Redding News Review] On 2008-01-07, GW on the Hill, Spirit, and Digital Spin is no longer heard on The Power. Also, all weekend programming and programming after 4 PM ET on weekdays has been suspended. Since this event, XM has added many shows specifically targeted to African-Americans from commercial and public radio.
