Black News Channel pushes back its launch date for the second time and now aims to begin broadcasting during Black History Month to maximize audience

A new 24-hour cable news channel aimed at an African American audience has once again delayed its launch - this time until Black History Month.

The Black News Channel, a new venture co-founded by former Republican Congressman JC Watts, was originally scheduled to go on the air on November 15.

The network then announced that it pushed back its launch date to January 6.

But now the channel is expected to be beamed into 70 million homes across the country starting on February 10.

Will their shows feature a proportionate number of non-African Americans?

I thought they wanted to be treated equal. Nothing equal about this.

I wonder who the advertisers will be, and how much they'll pay for airtime. My guess is that the DNC will spend millions there in 2020.

The BET channel has the Cosby show on everyday. That alone should tell you everything you need to know...

Ditto. Much truth there.

Every cartoon has them as the main character and in disproportionate numbers.

Even if EVERY black person in the USA watched that channel, they would still be about 30 million viewers short of 70 million.
Advertisers are going to LOVE that.

Failure.

And it will be blamed on white people.

And Trump.

Because black people can never achieve what every other race and creed in the USA has achieved -- success --- without the white people giving them something.
For close to 60 years, free housing, free medical care, free education, free food, free phones, free electricity, free day care, job preferences (even *lowering the standards* to allow blacks to pass tests and get promoted, etc.).
60 years.
And they still need more free stuff and more assistance???
60 years???????
