Bold text Gwendolyn West,born August 14, 1957 in Valdosta, Georgia and grew up in Leesburg, Georgia. She is a Philosophical and Theological Professor. Not only is she known as a Philosophy, Theology, Ethics and Communication Professor, she is best celebrated as the first African American woman to establish, own, and operate an urban television network in Miami, Florida. Out of her concern that many people in her area were not always able to attend church on a regular basis and were missing this valuable life experience, Good News Communications was formed July 1994, as a four hours network that shared airtime with a few television stations in Miami. After much response, Dr. West needed a home to house all of the ministries in one place with other family friendly program. So, in 2004 Good News Communications launched Urban Television (UTV)as a 24/7 television network to accommodate her vision. Dr. West deems UTV as the genuine urban voice, a network that is all about "U" and it can be viewed anywhere in world where there are ROKU, Firestick and Android televisions or devices.
