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 eight 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.
