Granite Broadcasting Corporation
- Granite Broadcasting Corporation
Granite Broadcasting Corporation is an African American-owned broadcasting holding company which owns or operates (via local marketing agreements) 14 television stations in the United States, largely centered in the midwest with a cluster in New York state. The company was founded in 1988 and was the first African American-owned chain to be considered a "major" group to exist in the United States (though not the first minority-owned chain, a distinction held by the Aleut-owned Cook Inlet Broadcasting).
The company is based in New York City, lead by W. Don Cornwell.
