Born Catherine Elizabeth Woods, Cathy Hughes is the founder of Radio One with her husband.She was one of the founders of Radio One’s predecessor company in 1980. Since 1980, Ms. Hughes has worked in various capacities for Radio One including President, General Manager, General Sales Manager and talk show host She began her career in radio as General Sales Manager of WHUR-FM, the Howard University-owned, urban-contemporary radio station.

In 2004 Ms.Hughes and Radio One launched TV One,a national cable and satellite television network which bills itself as the "lifestyle and entertainment network for African-American adults." Ms.Hughes interviews prominent personalities, usually in the entertainment industry, for the network's talk program TV One on One.

Ms. Hughes was named "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Ernst and Young. Ms.Hugh also is a minority owner of BET industries.

Ms.Hughes stand out to me the most because she was a teenage mother who didn't let anything stop her dreams of owning g her own company. Many of us sate that because there is a child in vole they cant accomplish all that that went to in life. but if you look at Ms. Hughes she never used that excuse and always aimed higher for better success and didn't let her struggle with the company get the best of her.
