Since its inception, Black Headline News (BHN), has been the depot for podcasts and news from a Black perspective.
News anchors, Ken McCoy, Carol Angela Davis, Alexandria Marie, and Julia Dudley Najieb started broadcasting segments for BHN right after the August 24, 2022 launch of the online channel, (two other hosts will begin in 2023.)
For new viewers and listeners, BHN has a linear channel where people can watch live as well as individual video podcast where people can watch at their leisure and read the attached news story. BHN also has an audio podcast network for listeners and an offline component for public access TV, (to date over 7 million TV viewers from throughout the United States.)
As BHN news anchors prepare for 2023, they also want to thank the supportive, viewing audience, wishing them a warm season's greeting. Below, take a look!
