Black Enterprise to Debut New TV Series

Black Enterprise (BE) magazine, published by Earl G. Graves Limited and now in its 36th year, is the No. 1 business and investing resource for African Americans with a readership of 3.9 million. A multimedia company with print, radio, television, and Web properties, BE will partner with Central City Productions (CCP), a Chicago-based production, sales, and distribution firm, to produce the new lifestyle show.

"We are extremely excited to announce the launch of a weekly news and entertainment show dedicated to our core audience," says BE president and CEO Earl "Butch" Graves. "For more than three decades, Black Enterprise has distinguished itself as a unique and independent voice for African Americans. Through Our World, BE will showcase the best of our society and offer viable solutions to the challenges we face."

Ed Gordon, host of Our World With Black Enterprise, says, "I am delighted to be part of a new program that will showcase the world of news, sports, and entertainment from a black perspective, and give voice to some of today's brightest minds and best talent. I look forward to bringing the rich conversation of the black community to the forefront, and presenting our culture, our people, and our perspective each week."

The Black Enterprise Report, BE's weekly, half-hour, televised business series, will continue to provide African American business professionals with content focusing exclusively on business and financial empowerment. The program, launched in 2003 with CCP, airs weekend mornings.
