Howard
University
Television
went
on
the
air
November
17,
1980
as
WHMM.
The
station's
debut
received
considerable
local
and
national
attention as it was the first and only Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) member station licensed to and operated by a predominantly African-American institution, historic Howard University, Washington, DC.
The station's first anniversary gala was hosted by Bill Cosby and attended by several prominent national leaders. Over the years, the station was hailed as a forum for local issues and for its unique original productions. By 1990, the station was producing a live weeknight edition of its flagship series, Evening Exchange. This series, now a weekly, has been airing for over 25 years and its host, Kojo Nnamdi, has become a local celebrity. |
