Black News Channel, which has expanded its reach more than 20-fold in about seven months, will relaunch in March with a new programming slate

Black News Channel is largely backed byowner Shad Khan, who also owns Fulham F.C. of the English Premier League. Mr. Khan started to invest in the network, which was co-founded by former Oklahoma congressman J.C. Watts, a few years ago. He declined to say how much he’s invested in Black News Channel to date, but he said he has raised his level of investment since Mr. Hair became CEO.

The two are planning to fill their four-hour time slot with longform interviews and segments about social justice, personal health, and economic wellness specific to the Black community. Mr. Hill said he has hosted his own TV show before, but being a longtime sports personality hasn’t allowed him “to use my voice in a way in which I feel like it’s necessary right now.”Ms. Reed, who has worked as a TV reporter in Cleveland and Atlanta, said social justice will be a main coverage area. “It’s not just an issue, it speaks to who we are and who our audience is.” She said coverage of the upcoming trial of the officers related to the death of George Floyd will be a focus.

Ms. Reed said seeing Mr. Blow in the lineup was “the icing on the cake” for her when making her decision to join Black News Channel. Using a sports analogy, Mr. Hill likened Black News Channel to an expansion team—a new team entering a sports league—in the TV news industry. “It’s rare that you see an expansion team get superstars right out of the gate,” he said.

Yes! there exists a lot of racial discrimination, abuse n intimidation. Certain groups r at the receiving end historically. The world is changing. People r more open n educated. The malice of discrimination on colour n creed is being rejected. Wrong to name channels by colours...

Programming Slate: Race Baiting to keep people from watching those evil white newscasts from different networks.

wsjnoted congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊 📺 to them 😃

wsjnoted Which one will be called the white news channel? CNN?

Divide and conquer. Brilliant!

'black' news channel sounds racist and discriminatory to me.

The world is not perfect. Racism exists. Yes. But this whole movement will only create segregation and thus more racism. And by God, I do not understand how people can’t seem to get it.

It will be a mathematical program about Riemann integrals, I hope.

May YHWH, the GOD of Heaven, lead you in the paths of righteousness throughout today. Psalm 23. MP4U YHWBR

I like my news like I like my...coffee? kidding. not a big coffee drinker. and trying to kick the news habit, which is much worse.

What is next? White News Channel? Heading the wrong way!

Do you have to be black to watch it? Is this a Country Club thread?

What's next? Gay News Channel? Asian News Channel? Indian News Channel? Just can't be White News Channel as that is racist and offensive...

While I’m supporter of BLM, I hope AAs can give this some thoughts - why’s All Black Network not a problem when All White is a problem? I agree Systemic racism agst Black exists but I also believe all Black Network isn’t helping the racial discrimination narrative.

Kinda racist

Who are the people behind the scenes? Like did they put black people in front of the camera and everyone else isnt?

I heard a lot of people made money from trading and mining of bitcoin.I never believed them because I was scammed several times but a friend of mine introduced me to Terri Ijeoma investor_terri so I decided to inves and now have made Over $40,000 since I started in November.

That's great news - pardon the pun - and I wish them great success. One caveat: will they be politically agnostic?

Please include segments on reparations for native African Americans to slavery before the church emotionalism stuff. Thank you new Black News Channel. purereparations

How will you love sit down and make money without stressing yourself. With the right investment you are only a step away. With Terri investor_terri She can help you trade and mine your bitcoin with a day to day monitoring of your account Dm her if you are Interested only

It's much needed, I hope Black producers are also running it, or what's the point.

People don’t have much so they have to do anything that can happen to bring down the cost of things,because people are very poorly, because of the ways things have been going,so we have to bring down the cost, where people don’t have to starve,Aman

WSJ News Exclusive | Texas Electric Bills Were $28 Billion Higher Under DeregulationTexas’s deregulated electricity market left millions in the dark last week. For the past 20 years, its consumers have paid more for their electricity than state residents who are served by traditional utilities, a WSJ investigation found. GregAbbott_TX The failure was the politicly driven push to wind & solar energy production. Hopefully the world will take note & scrap this BS. Before it kills more people. Let’s be honest. What Texas GOP did years ago is side with big utility executives & cleared the way for them to exploit the people of Texas. Removing vital regulations means utilities can charge more, invest less in resiliency & thus profit more. Losers are the people of Texas.
