Kal and Lucille Rudman pass away at age 91

Posted

TUTV is saddened to learn of the recent passing of music and show business legend Kal Rudman and his wife Lucille, who were integral to the launching of our channel in 2010 through their foundation, the Kal and Lucille Rudman Foundation. We are devastated over the loss of this wonderful couple who gave so much. They were champions for Temple students, providing the support that made it possible for TUTV’s student reporters to cover such monumental events as the Olympics, the DNC and the Pope Francis visit.

Kal Rudman was a monumental music and show business pioneer and legend. As the founder and publisher of the nation’s leading radio and music industry publications, Rudman had a knack for picking hits and forecasting trends. His ability to predict top hits earned him the nickname, “The Man with the Golden Ears,” which led him to multiple appearances on “The Merv Griffin Show,” “The Today Show” and “The Tomorrow Show” with Tom Snyder. Rudman was also honored in 2017 as the first recipient of the Klein College Tribute Award.

Kal passed away following a long illness earlier this week. Lucille followed him two days later. They were both 91 years of age and had been together for 63 years.

Please join TUTV in commemorating their legacy by tuning in this Sunday starting at noon and 8 p.m. to watch an episode of Temple Flashback featuring an interview by TUTV General Manager Paul Gluck with Kal, followed by An Evening Honoring the Generosity of Kal and Lucille Rudman airing at 1:30 and 9:30 p.m.

TUTV airs doc and panel on impact of local activist history

Posted

50 years have passed since a group of activists burglarized an FBI office, uncovering an illegal surveillance system used to watch and infiltrate the lives of American citizens who were involved in non-violent anti-Vietnam War protests and other civil rights groups. The burglarization, coined MEDBURG, revealed counterintelligence planted on activist groups and the existence of the infamous COINTELPRO operation. To commemorate the anniversary, these activists, along with the Washington Post reporter who exposed the crimes and various guests, returned to the scene of the crime: Media, PA.

On September 1, 2021, those involved reconvened to unveil a dedicated historical marker in Media Borough and to shed light on the significance of these events fifty years ago. Temple University’s own Dean David Boardman and Professor Marc Lamont Hill attended the commemoration. A screening of the 1971 documentary, which breaks down and portrays the events of that night, was hosted along with a discussion panel by Lamont Hill.

The 1971 documentary and discussion panel will air Wednesday, October 15 at 1 and 9 p.m. on TUTV. Tune in to learn more about this significant moment in history and hear speeches from prominent leaders at Temple.
