About a month ago, I heard recent Radio Hall of Fame inductee Cathy Hughes, speak at a conference. She gave a wonderful speech about how she started out and all the ups and down of building her empire, which includes radio stations (Radio One) and a television station (TV One), as well as other entities. I enjoy watching programs on the television station, TV One. I enjoy watching the reruns of A Different World and Living Single, they still make me laugh. And the series Unsung has been educational about ….what NOT to do in the music industry. It has also made me sad at the state of some really gifted artists.
Another fascinating show is TV One on One. In this show Ms. Hughes herself interviews celebrities and other famous folks. Here’s the description from the website:
You see them all the time - in the news, on television, walking the red carpet or on the playing field. But, rarely do you get to find out what you really want to know… until now.
In an intimate setting, get personal with the most influential African-American figures of our time. From business leaders, to entertainment gurus to spectacular athletes, former radio personality Cathy Hughes engages with friends and colleagues about their successes, their obstacles and the determination that got them to where they are today.
TV One on One with Cathy Hughes interviews aren't just your typical Hollywood-style conversations. Cathy Hughes' inviting personality and mitigating style encourages guests to open up, answering questions and discussing topics that other hosts can only dance around.
Check out this list of past interviewees – the Senator Barack Obama, Jamie Foxx, Quincy Jones, Dick Gregory, Smokey Robinson, Spike Lee, Gabrielle Union, Natalie Cole, Tavis Smiley, Sugar Ray Leonard, Patti LaBelle, Harry Belafonte, Kimora Lee Simmons, Don Cheadle, former Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Denzel Washington, Aretha Franklin, Ludacris, Taraji P. Henson, Mary J. Blige and Minister Louis Farrakhan. The most recent interview was with Snoop Dogg. I’m certain that like many of the other interviews it was just as interesting.
