Granite Broadcasting

Granite Broadcasting LLC was an American broadcasting holding company based in New York City. Granite was founded by W. Don Cornwell and Stuart Beck in 1988, and was the first African-American station group in the United States to considered to be a "major" station operator (though not the first minority-owned chain, a distinction held by the now-defunct Aleut-owned Cook Inlet Broadcasting).
Granite's chairman/CEO was Peter Markham, with Duane Lammers serving as COO.
