Black News Channel, a cable news network that went on the air two years ago to provide an alternative look at news from Black Americans’ perspective, is shutting down, the outlet’s chief executive told employees on Friday.
“Due to challenging market conditions and global financial pressures, we have been unable to meet our financial goals, and the timeline afforded to us has run out,” Princell Hair, who has been chief executive since July 2020, wrote in a memo to staff. “Effective immediately, BNC will cease live production and file for bankruptcy.”

“challenging market conditions”. A euphemism for low ratings.
It would be hilarious if someone scooped up the physical assets, turned it into the White News Channel and made a billion dollars...
Let’s launch a media outlet that only caters to 13% of the population...
It had all white people on their commercials
It’s located in Tallahassee FL.
Most of the funding came from the Jacksonville Jags owner.
A news channel that only reports black crime?
BRILLIANT!!
Repeating orange man racist and bad repetitively for years after the orange man has been vanquished probably isn’t compelling enough to retain attention
“challenging market conditions”
Please allow me to translate.....that’s code for racist white people hate blacks so they refused to watch our channel.
White people should have been required to watch it.
It probably got funded by racist grant money. Spent all the $$$ and well you know the rest.
Exactly. Brilliant move.
Black Lives Matter has plenty of money. Why aren’t they supporting the brothers with their news channel?
Kind of like Air America radio network. Spent 6 years trying to find it’s progressive audience and never did.
Damn shame, LOL! /sarc
“Good Morning. My name is Princell Hair.
What’s your name?”
I wouldn’t be surprised if even black people didn’t watch. A lot of them are having their eyes opened by events of the past year.
Correct
That’s what happens when you have to compete on a level playing field, don’t get government subsidies and have to succeed on your own.
Ain’t that easy is it?
I think I skipped past it on PlutoTV a few times. Not sure if it was on any of the pay platforms or not.
