Urban One Celebrates 46 Years Of Serving The Black Community
WOL News Talk 1450 in Washington, D.C., celebrated its 46th anniversary on October 3, honoring founder Cathy Hughes and its service to the Black community.
Founded in 1980, Urban One grew from WOL into a media company with radio stations in multiple cities, the TVOne network, and a partnership with Reach Media.
Urban One provides radio and television programming focused on Black communities and launched Urban One Honors in 2019 to celebrate Black achievement.
Hughes later purchased WOL after securing financing and rebuilt the station with support from community volunteers.
