TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -
He declined to say how much he would invest initially but said it would be enough to keep the network running for a long time. Former Republican U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts, who was a star quarterback at the University of Oklahoma in the 1980s, will be chairman of the new network. It will be available via cable and satellite viewers in 33 million households.
Always be suspect when someone outside the community and no connection to black people starts to pour that kind of money into our community. We good. Not interested in right wing view of the world (aka 'I got mine sucks to be you')
soledadobrien rolandsmartin should be up on prime time on this network Jaguars shadkhan blacknews
Interesting how investments that target AA communities is seen as a profitable investment over building an American Pakistani network. I don't believe there is one in America. Wonder how many AA people will have input on content and delivery.
Don't believe the hype.
$10 it won't be covering killer kkkops court trials.
Bless you Sir🙏
soledadobrien Having lived in mixed race and multinational communities that are highly successful, I’ve found segregation of any kind counterproductive. I don’t understand how this news channel adds value, but if it will, great.
Fox News for Blacks.
soledadobrien Is this a good thing or bad thing?
On the one hand, you're right...
Where does Kanye fit into this......?
Too bad we don’t have a news network aimed at news.
rolandsmartin i hope rolandsmartin will be joining this network TonyKhan
Rightwing propaganda: its not just for white folks anymore.
So phontigallo and RapperBigPooh UBN News is on the way
soledadobrien Wow!
NOBODY wants to go out and look for news anymore
Am sorry why is a news channel geared towards African Americans being funded by an Asian & he's going to make a fortune from this? An indictment of wealthy African Americans for failing to see the business opportunity of their own community! What are the likes of Oprah doing?
rolandsmartin Will Candace Owens be on popping her neck pushing the Blexit? It's a Darker shade of Faux News.
rolandsmartin I’m going to research him...
soledadobrien Soooo now you have even more propaganda to spread lies to the Great Black Americans...is this because so many are coming home to the party of Lincoln!
Does that mean I’ll see real news in other networks instead of this race baiting crap? Also can we get one for the confused gender people? I’d love to see news based on facts instead of feelings again...

soledadobrien Let's hope he's a patient investor. News is important, as are additional perspectives, but profit is a very slow simmer in the cable news business. Best of luck to this new news service. 🤞👍
So if one started that was directed at white americans then it would be considered racist but anything directed at blacks is okay. This will be a racist network
soledadobrien With this and All Elite Wrestling, Kahn wants to be the next Ted Turner.
rolandsmartin what's this?
That’s racist
I’m excited! “Topics that have gone undercovered elsewhere will get network attention, including news about historically black colleges and universities and sickle cell disease, which affects African Americans.”

I had no idea UPN was still around.
Give Kap a job would impress me more GTFOH!!!!!!
Biographer1986 Hold it!!!! Is this that FoxNews Network Conservative branch aimed at the AA Community that was announced within the past 2yrs?!?!
I mean the anti police network already exists. CNN
So a news channel that will be 24-7 devoted to demonizing the police and instigating false outrage against non-blacks. We already at least two news channels that do this very thing (CNN and MSNBC).
So black news is different from the rest of the news
What's the name of the network ? I must have missed it in the article
Why do African Americans need their own News? That’s just so blatantly racist. Aren’t we all just Americans? This is the divisive shit, that makes me want to puke! 🇺🇸
His mustache is stupid.
Sponsored by ....
They should give Candace Owens, Dan Bongino, Terrence Williams and others their own shows on this new platform.
That sounds divisive. African Americans and all our other citizens are what makes us the UNITED States. Khan is trying to place a wedge between us.
One word from a white guy......nice........ About time.
RecklessJeff
Instead of clothing lines and record labels... What a shame it took someone else outside the ' village family '
Ok but will it be as BIASED as CNN? Or even more so? ExposeCNN
That sounds quite RACIST to me.
Rightwing propaganda.. its not just for white folks anymore. This guy is a Trump supporter and his partner is an Oklahoma Republican
Hopefully the station doesn't suck as bad as his football team.
they better give a power hour to tariq nasheed or me and my homies aren't watching.
Did he announce this before or after he tied a woman to the railroad tracks?
Might as well, since Faux Propaganda is catering to uneducated whites!
Shad Khan? Yeah, I don't know about all that.
That’s cool
Good Luck
