For 35 years we have stayed true to our mission of focusing on African-American viewers and listeners.  Today we reach 82% of African Americans each and every week via the radio, web and TV.   Over the past 35 years we have created a media powerhouse; a unique company with no equal.   We thank all of our employees for their time, effort, support, commitment and encouragement which were essential to the success of our three and a half decades of service and achievements. 

Our 53 radio stations in 16 markets remain the voice of and the connection to the African-American community through events, listener experiences, and on the ground activities. Many of our General Managers, Sales Managers and Program Directors were recognized as the best in the business and six of our stations were nominated for Marconi Awards (DC, Raleigh and Charlotte) along with Rickey Smiley.

TV One is the premiere destination targeting African Americans, captivating audiences with a mix of programs that not only address their interests, but touch their lives.  In 3Q15, TV One ranked among the Top 3 ad-supported cable networks among Blacks ages 25-54 in Wednesday Primetime for 11 consecutive weeks.  This was driven by our slate of original programming, with newest installment Born Again Virgin, and perennial favorites, Hollywood Divas & Unsung (which have both seen year-over-year increases).  Driven by this slate of originals, the network posted its most watched summer performance on Wednesday night ever, and the #2 third quarter primetime performance in TV One History. And, on Monday night, TV One launched “True Crime Monday” with two hours of Fatal Attraction and For My Man; now the #1 & #2 most watched shows in their respective time-slots among the Black audience. Furthermore, News One Now, the first and only morning news show targeting the African-American audience moved from 9am to 7am, and TV One will televise three total awards shows this year: Image Awards, Stellar Awards and Triumph Awards. While most cable networks are on the decline, TV One is growing year-over-year in programming and in viewership.  We continue to thrive as an African-American targeted cable network and we are a premiere player in the African-American space!
