Granite Broadcasting LLC was an American broadcasting holding company based in New York City. Granite was founded by W. Don Cornwell and Stuart Beck in 1988, and was the first African-American station group in the United States to considered to be a "major" station operator (though not the first minority-owned chain, a distinction held by the now-defunct Aleut-owned Cook Inlet Broadcasting). Granite's chairman/CEO was Peter Markham, with Duane Lammers serving as COO.
WHNS (channel 21), branded as Fox Carolina, is a television station licensed to Greenville, South Carolina, United States, serving as the Fox affiliate for Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina. It is owned by Gray Media and has studios on Interstate Court (just northwest of Interstate 85) in Greenville; its transmitter is located atop Slick Rock Mountain in Transylvania County, North Carolina (5 miles [8 km] southeast of Brevard). Though the broadcast license on which this station operates dates to 1953, its modern on-air history begins April 1, 1984. What had been WANC-TV in Asheville, North Carolina, which had been broadcasting a limited amount of Christian programming, was bought by Pappas Telecasting and, after several regulatory delays, became the area's first full-market independent station. Though the city of license was Asheville until 2003, the station has always been based in South Carolina. It became a Fox affiliate in 1988. After debuting its first local newscast in 1996, WHNS established its own news department in 1999 under Meredith Corporation ownership. Starting with a 10 p.m. newscast, WHNS grew to produce morning, early and late evening newscasts. Gray acquired WHNS as part of its purchase of Meredith's broadcasting portfolio in 2021.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
