Rev. Al Sharpton is launching a syndicated Sunday morning talk show called “Education Superhighway” that will air in more than 150 markets across the country.
Sharpton told The Hollywood Reporter that he started his own media company, ESH Holdings, to produce the 30-minute show and create an accompanying print magazine.
The first installment of the show will air on Sept. 26, and will include “news and roundtable discussions primarily about education,” THR reports. Already scheduled to appear on the show are public figures such as Bill Gates, Newt Gingrich, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and president of the American Federation of Teachers Randi Weingarten.
This is not Sharpton’s first foray into television — he starred in a reality show on Spike TV called ‘I Hate My Job’ in 2004. Sharpton also hosts a radio talk show and frequently appears as a guest commentator on cable news programs.
