Porsha Williams has been having an amazing 2014 so far and it appears the blessing are still coming. Starting with the success of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ which her contract was ultimately renewed for despite initial rumors, and finding love with a new man who she says fans will meet when she reveals him in the upcoming season 7 of the show and then Porsha landed a co-hosting spot for the summer on Dish Nation with the ‘Rickey Smiley Morning Show’.

Well now it looks like her summer internship has paid off, as it was just announced today that the ‘Flatline’ singer was offered a permanent spot on the nationally syndicated show. According to the press release:

NEW YORK — Porsha Williams, star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, has been named permanent co-host on the entertainment magazine television program, DISH NATION. Based in Atlanta, with the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show”, Porsha brings her distinct perspective on breaking celebrity news and gossip. The announcement was made by Michael Bachmann and Matt Blanock, co-executive producers of DISH NATION.

Michael and Matt stated: “This week, ‘Dish Nation’ celebrates 500 episodes. We are thrilled to have the talented and tenacious Porsha Williams around for the next 500 and beyond.”

Growing +12% in average daily viewers versus same period a year ago (1.52 million vs 1.36), DISH NATION remains syndication’s youngest skewing first-run program.

Porsha stated: “On my very first day in the Atlanta studios of ‘Dish Nation’ I immediately felt a natural chemistry with the team. Rickey Smiley is an amazing comic and I am thrilled to learn and grow with one of the best morning hosts in the country.”
