Read it:

Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles, 1971 to 2017. Four Americans decline the salary and take the ownership position instead. Cathy Hughes buys a failing AM station in Washington and sleeps in it. Robert Johnson borrows against a lobbyist's Rolodex to put two hours a week on a satellite transponder nobody else wanted. Oprah Winfrey signs away her show to a network, gets it back, and builds a studio on the near West Side of Chicago. Evan Spiegel takes a company public whose shares carry no vote at all. Each of them found the same thing from a different direction: an audience the incumbents had priced at nothing, and a moment before anyone had worked out what it was worth. Covers Cathy Hughes, Robert L. Johnson, Oprah Winfrey, Evan Spiegel, and Black Entertainment Television.
