Bob Johnson itching to get back in the cable network business
Published: Wednesday, November 26, 2008
BY THE SHOGUNAfter cashing out from the sale of Black Entertainment Television (BET). Bob Johnson is said to be planning a new cable network which a spokesperson says will cater to a multicultural audience interested in health, lifestyle, education and other issues. The mouthpiece also said that the new network is not intended to compete with BET or TV One. We find that hard to believe being that the name of this soon to be launched multicultural network will be called Urban Television LLC. Soooo Original isn't it? We thought Johnson would have at least spent time on a name that people wouldn't expect. Launching a new network with no intentions of competing with BET or TV One doesn't mean it won't compete with them. We have to hand it to Bob Johnson though, planning to launch a new cable net in these current economic times is very ballsy. Wait a minute. Will Johnson's new cable network not intentionally compete with Rapper Master P's Better Black Television network? Labels: BBTV, BET, BLACK_OWNED_MEDIA, BLACKTV, BobJohnson, LAUNCHES |
