One notable Black-owned TV station in Black history is WLIB-TV (now known as WBIS-TV). It was founded by Percy E. Sutton, a prominent civil rights activist, lawyer, and politician. WLIB-TV was the first Black-owned television station in New York City and one of the first in the United States.

The station was launched in 1971 and aimed to provide programming that reflected the interests and experiences of the Black community. WLIB-TV featured news, talk shows, cultural programs, and educational content that highlighted Black voices and perspectives.

Percy E. Sutton's vision for WLIB-TV was to create a platform for Black empowerment and representation in the media industry. The station faced financial challenges and eventually changed ownership and format, but its impact on the landscape of Black-owned media stations is significant in Black history.
