Brunson will be remembered as one of the first African-American women in the United States to own a radio station and later a TV station. She got her start in 1962 as the assistant controller of New York City's WWRL-AM (1600). She rose through the ranks to become GM, and later joined crosstown WLIB-AM. She was there when WLIB-FM (107.5) was turned into the modern-day WBLS-FM under Inner City Broadcasting. Brunson also helped start one of Madison Avenue's first African-American advertising agencies when she co-founded Howard Sanders Advertising. She later moved to Baltimore, where she purchased WEBB (1360) in 1979. In 1986 she would buy WGTW-TV/Channel 48 in Philadelphia. Brunson has passed away from ovarian cancer at age 72.
