Major Network To
Staff Negro Newsman
CHICAGO (ANP) Two of the
nation’* three major networks
CBS, and ABC apparently are
compating to place the first Negro
journalist as an on-the-air newsman
on national television.
The latest to enter the race is
CBS, Which last week announced
that it is grooming Chicago news
man Ben Holman, who received
wide publicity for a newspaper se
ries on the “Black Muslim" sect
last summer, for such a post
Holman currently is assigned to
early morning news shows at WB
BM-TV, the local CBS outlet Fre

has been chosen by his lootbatl
team mates to lead them during
Hampton Institute’s 1983 season.
The former Carver High School
luminary was overwhelmingly se
lected from a group of five eligible
candidates for Captain of the grid
iron Pirates.
Carey Hughley, diminutive, 157-

Hopeful of producing future pro
grams in different sections, the
sponsor has informed the press that
public reaction to "TV Gospel
Time” has been most favorable.
Alan Cowley, advertising man
ager of Artra Cosmetics, said, “we
have been delighted with com
ments about the program. Many
people have said that they watch
the program because they like the
entertainment. Others like the in
spirational nature of the songs.
And, most seem to be looking for
both reasons.
“Os course, we have especially
appreciated some of the compli
ments from ministers. Several min
isters have thanked us for schedul
ing the show on Sunday mornings
they thought it was a good way
to prepare people for church. And
at least a few minister* have said
that they now delay the start of
Sunday School classes so that mem
bers oif their congregation can see
TV Gospel Time' before leaving
their homes.”
Appearing on “TV Gospel Time”
programs within the next few
weeks will be such artists as James
Cleveland, the well known record
ing star who is also a minister of
music; the Tears of Music: the I.or
raine Ellison Singers and the Gos
pel Starlets. And these upcoming
shows will feature such groups ns
the Refuge Temple Choir and the
St Paul’s Disciple Choir.
evening newscasts. Before joining
WBBM-TV, Holman was employed
by the Chicago Daily News new pa
per for 10 years. Most of his news
paper reporting dealt with issues
and news concerning Negroes.
He was the first Negro to be em
ployed by a Chicago television sta
tion in a regular staff newscasting
position.
Holman is not the first Negro to
be employed by a major television
network, but he might become the
first to serve as a full-fledged news
correspondent CBS hopes eventu
ally to assign him to • United
States or foreign bureau.
Nevertheless, an outside look at
our players on hand right now ap
pears very good. But we must wait
and look at the situation after the
June academic marking period to
get a line on the percentage of
men returning."

and Davis McClain was given an
opportunity to make two free

the two free throws and his team
won 40-38.
Ligon had to come from behind

the time.
