A Pale Class for Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame
With the exception of Michael Strahan, a former defensive end for the New York Giants who co-hosts "Live With Kelly and Michael,"the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame is inducting an all-white class in New York on Oct. 28, a reader points out.
Asked about this, the B&C Hall of Fame Committee gave Journal-isms this response: "Thank you and your reader for raising this important question. Our annual Hall of Fame, into which more than 300 men and women have been inducted representing a variety of roles across the television business, is one of many well-attended, signature events we convene year-round. As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity as an organization, we also present our Hispanic TV Summit, Multiethnic TV Awards, our Multicultural Breakfast event at the Cable Show, Women of NY and Women of Hollywood."
Broadcasters of color have been honored in past years. Debra Lee, BET Networks chairman and CEO, was inducted in 2010, for example, and the late Don Cornelius of "Soul Train" was honored in 1995.
