Congratulations to Roland Martin. The fomer editor of the Chicago Defender and former WVON-AM morning show host has been picked as the long-term fill-in host on CNN's "No Bias, No Bull" news program. Campbell Brown, the current host who is pregnant, is expected to have her baby in late March/early April. Chicago's Roland Martin will then take over for at least 8 weeks. This could eventually lead to Roland getting an offer to do his own CNN show later this year. In addition to his TV duties, Martin will continue to be a contributor to the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, heard locally on V103.
