have to go back to 1974 when Ed Buggs began his broadcasting career
at WBRZ Television in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a reporter. Three
years later he was anchoring the early evening news in Dallas-Fort
Worth. Later, there would be anchor-reporter stops in New Orleans
and then in1983, Ed returned to his roots to anchor the evening news
in Baton Rouge.
Following in his parents footsteps, Ed Buggs
is also a businessman. While holding down the anchor desk in Baton
Rouge, he purchased the former Jantzen Swimwear plant in Eunice,
Louisiana where 155 people worked. From 1990 to 1996, it was the
largest, minority owned apparel manufacturing plant in America.
Awards won by the news team during Ed’s
television career at WBRZ include the Pulitzer, Scripps-Howard,
Dupont-Columbia and Associated Press for Best Newscast in Louisiana.
However, it was after television news that
Ed found his niche in talk radio. He began his career in talk radio
in1997 and by 2001 he had twice been named to the “Top 100” talk
show hosts in America. There are more than 4,000 talk show hosts in
this country.
Today, Ed’s radio talk show is televised in
72 cities, from New York to Los Angeles on the Urban America
Television Network. It’s called, “The Ed Buggs Show; Real Talk, Real
People” and features his producer, Matt Moscona, who has been with
Ed for the past three years. |
