Joe Madison and Karen Hunter are the reason I started listening to Urban View...The Black Eagle.

Truth

[@spawest-u2g]

I'm gonna miss the Black Eagle so much. I often drive through the desert and loved road trips because I could listen to all four hours of the Madison show...I will be more active, because now that he's gone, we all have to step up and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

[@henryjohnson7822]

I've listened to Joe Madison for over 20 years I will miss you. Peaceful Journey 🙏

[@sevenstarsofthedipper1047]

Me too.

[@gracehope7]

I was so lucky to first find Joe Madison on a local D.C.-area radio station around 1994, and then lucky to re-find him on WOL, and then on Sirius XM. All his listeners would have followed him anywhere, he took our spirits, minds, and consciousness to higher levels of awareness and activism.

[@henryjohnson7822]

@gracehope7 I had never heard of Joe Madison until I became a truck driver grew up in Philly the only person I remember was Mary Mason. I listened faithfully to Joe Madison.

[@monicaDD]

Gosh! The Black Eagle reinvigorated my love for talk radio and podcasts. He will be missed

[@tpa6laf]

When people you never met mourn for you, you know you led a powerful life. 😢😢😢😢

[@RR-ur4kz]

" Put it where the goats can get it" I had never heard that until his show😊

[@rebahenderson211]

RIP JOE MADISON & CARL WEATHERS Two Black men who have been apart of our lives always and we have been able to learn from and enjoy always. They will be missed greatly by us all. If, you do not know them you will. ❤❤

[@roxannethomas3047]

In 2014 I bought a new car with Sirius radio. That was my introduction to urban view radio and I never turned back. Joe Madison in the morning was my sunshine on those rainy or snowy days. My morning has been interrupted because Mr. Madison had to join our ancestors. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it, accept cry.😪😪. RIP MY BROTHER.

[@jamesjones2835]

I'm a retired truck driver i listen to Joe Madison while I was over the road I've learned so much from him in the short time respect and rest in peace I'll take the wisdom I've learned and thank you mr Madison

[@RILDILPODCAST]

He definitely was a legend I literally have walked past his studio thousands of times the Sirius Xm family will definitely miss him

[@readslotsofbooks]

My heart is heavy too. What a gift he was to my life. I offer my sincerest condolences.

[@jimprince604]

Black Eagle - Rest in Peace. Thank you for everything you did for our community.

[@anntaylor1632]

The best thing that came out of getting a new car back in 2013 was the SiriusXM radio that was included. The life changing jewel from that was discovering Joe Madison and the entire Urban View lineup. He made an indelible impact on me as a lover of black history and culture. He energized me to become more civically engaged. His legacy will continue through all whose hearts and minds he touched.💕✊🏾

[@user-ct6tk1br3k]

Learned so much from you

[@faith5897]

I use to love listening to Joe Madison. He told it like it was and I loved the way he would never let anyone get away with not speaking the truth.

[@lolettelove1882]

I was home from work during Covid and accidentally turned to the Urban View channel. Just retired this was such a blessing to fine all this goodness especially The Black Eagle. God called another angel home.

[@kathleenhurd205]

As a teenager I thought he was a beautiful black man and that smile ....RIH.

[@lindapernell6343]

Rest In Power Joe Madison, "The Black Eagle" 🕊️🙏🏽🕊️

[@jwright4988]

RIP. I started listening to XM radio in 2009 and I learned about the Madison show at a time when I needed inspiration and knowledge. He will be greatly missed. Thank you too Karen.

[@shavonnestoddard6428]

I am truly saddened by the transition of Mr. Joe. I will honor him by continuing the work. My love and condolences to his beautiful family ... Especially Ms. Sherry ✊🏾🖤💪🏾🦅

[@Maureenpuckerin]

I felt your pain when you said "I am at a loss for words" and that you could not provide us with any comfort. So I send you my comfort as I know you have been there with your dad and now again with your mentor. Push through great warrior we lift you up and offer our strength to you!! I found you through Joe and I love you and him. We are all 1 FAMILY!!! AND WE PRAY 4U

[@frankiejames5294]

Bro Joe days on Philly radio ❤ put it where the goats can get it! The Black Eagle 🦅

[@JLewis-el7hd]

I'm really going to miss listening to him😢 His wife and staff were greatly appreciated too. He always push us to get out and make a change if we didn't agree with what was going on. "What are you going to do about it"

[@aggiehort07]

I purchased a new to me truck ....I found out it had a lifetime subscription to xm radio ......I still have the truck bit also pay over 30 a month because of initially Joe, Karen .... I didn't like Karen because of her initial exterior I thought existed but I kept listening because altho she was hard she was speaking truth.......it didn't take more than a week of hearing her when I was like omg she is dope ........love you KH and loved joe he was truly all the caffeine I ever needed and shall always be Karen, now your work really begins you've always had the anchor so I know you shall settle this ship and continue to let it sail.....love you gal.....haha I know my lack of gramatics haha is killing you softly

[@AJ-id2qf]

Joe Madison was also my introduction to Urban View! I really enjoyed his show! He will be missed! His voice was so important and he also educated his listeners. I always enjoyed his interaction with callers and him mentioning putting money in the "swear jar". He was legendary!

[@christinerichardson6596]

He will always be an icon in my eyes! 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-mw3mb2uv8n]

R.I.P. Joe, my sympathies to his family, friends and co workers, neighbours, he will be greatly missed. I do hope his dream lives on.

[@SaundraEHarris]

I was introduced to Mr. Madison as my father was a huge fan. I purchased my XM account because of him. I constantly repeat his mantra about marginalization and what are you going to do about to whomever will listen. My family nonprofit foundation has given over $100k in scholarships to students looking to further their education as to how we give back. RIH Mr. Madison you will be missed.

[@MrCeora]

This was one baaaaaad brother people. We suffer a huge loss people. A HUGE loss. a black man with a microphone, and knew how to use it. Rest in eternal peace brother Joe. You made your presence felt...

If it wasn't for joe madison, i would never have found Clay Cane, Lurie or YOU professor hunter. Thank you for your tribute. He will be greatly missed. I will continue to heed the call..."What are YOU gonna do about it...to make U.S. better"

[@Officialenamoredmedia]

I listened to this hero everyday for years for four hours! Man, my heart is literally actually hurting with this one. He’s def the reason why I started switching from talking about silliness on my channel to more thoughtful conversations. Condolences!

[@TheAmberDTaylor]

It was 2010 when I discovered The Black Eagle. He helped shift my consciousness in a way that I will never forget. Rise and soar, Joe Madison. You live on. #WhatAreYouGonnaDoAboutIt 💔

Huge loss! I just happy to have shared the same time and space with people like Joe Madison (instead of reading about people like him in a book)

[@gingercake0907]

Mr Joe Madison was the reason I had a Sirius XM subscription. “ Everyone can do something, but most people don’t do anything.” Joe Madison. He will be sorely missed. Another wise person who our young people benefited from listening to. Sympathy goes out to his family friends and fans.

[@bloved7615]

Been listening to SiriusXM before it merged. Had to use an adapter to get the signal, it’s been that long. Gonna miss Mr. Madison. RIP. Condolences to his family, his friends, his radio team and the Urban View family.

[@e.wilson1627]

Today is February 20,2024. I turned it on Madison classics this morning because I knew that Joe Madison cancer had come back. But what I didn't know was that he passed away😢. I was listening to Karen Hunter show towards the end and that's when I found out he passed. 😢😢😢 When I heard Karen Hunter say "Joe Madison said when he die Sirius XM it's just going to replace me". Karen Hunter just announced they still have him on the airways playing the Madison classics. I pray for Mrs. Sherry and the family and the crew. Damn I'm going to miss him cussing out some callers. I used to wake up early just to listen to the show. RIP in POWER ❤❤❤ Back in 2015 I started listening to Sirius XM. And I was surfing channels Urban View popped up. The Karen Hunter show and cousin Sil. And the next day when I got in my car that's when I was introduced to the Joe Madison show.
