Rahn
d. Fudge
Founder;
CEO/ Executive Producer/ Host
Rahn d. Fudge founded QTV Newsmagazine as a grassroots effort back in
1995 with a small group of other, mostly gay media individuals who
wanted then---as he does now---to show normal, positive and
non-stereotypical images of gay people and to create a television news
and information outlet for the local gay community of San Francisco.
Fudge has more than 20 years of
combined professional television experience. Before QTV, he worked as
an award-winning TV reporter with ABC-TV affiliate WSOC-TV (Charlotte,
N.C.) and WBRC-TV (Birmingham, AL.) and also for CBS-TV affiliate WRDW-TV
(Augusta, GA.)
His work with QTV over the past
twelve years garnered him the prestigious nomination of Honorary Grand
Marshal from the San Francisco Gay Pride Committee.
Fudge is an honor graduate from
Morris Brown College, one of America’s well-known historically black
colleges located in Atlanta that’s part of a consortium of other
private black colleges such as Morehouse, (alma mater of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.), Spelman College and Clark University. He furthered
his journalism career with Master degree studies at the renowned
Medill School of Journalism at the prestigious Northwestern University
in Chicago/Evanston, Illinois.
