So Black Enterprise finally has made the leap into Tee Vee. (I’m sure someone at Essence with a long memory is going, “So what? We had a nationally syndicated show years ago.”) ‘Member it? Nope? Okay, moving on, then…….. 🙂

Buying “America’s Black Forum” and re-shaping it can only been seen as a good thing. The program’s only claim to fame in its years on broadcast life-support was that it was a national mainstream platform for Armstrong Williams and Niger Innis to parry their conservative views with crusading—and graying—Black liberals Julian Bond and Deborah Mathis. *YAWN*. It’ll be interesting to see if Ed Gordon and Co. will create something that will have a purpose beyond being an early-morning FCC requirement.
