Roland Martin to host “Washington Watch” on TV One this Fall
In an effort to reflect more of a diverse voice to Sunday morning talk shows centered around politics, Roland Martin has partnered with TV One to launch “Washington Watch.” The first episode will air on September 27, 2009 at 11:00am. Martin plans to feature guests from varied ethnicities and regions of the US- both demographics that he feels are not tapped enough on existing shows.
With our nation’s first African American president, Martin feels there’s an unsatisfied craving from the African American community to be plugged more into politics and government affairs. Like “Meet the Press” and other similar shows, it will be filmed weekly in Washington, DC; however, being aired via TV One whose focus is programming for African Americans, Martin will cater his show to cover politics with an African American target audience in mind.
