After months of uncertainty, Black News Channel based in Tallahassee shutdown on Friday just two years after its launch. The channel was launched back in February 2020 by former Republican Congressman J. C. Watts, to target Black audiences they felt were underserved....

I guess basing "news" on race isn't a winning strategy.

Bashing whitey probably isn’t a winning strategy.

Whitey bashing seems to work well in politics - and schools.

Why this is racism pure and simple! The owners should stay open and continue full pay and benefits. After all, they’re rich and can afford it. ~sarc. (typical lib thinking)

[Old Yeller]

Did the station go dark because they didn’t pay their bills, hoping that someone would come along and pay for them?

[Recovering_Democrat]

The guy who financed it is the owner of the the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It would be something if they failed because they reported about actual news from black communities and couldn’t get funding from Woke bankers as a consequence.

News organizations have been having difficult for decades. There are too many leftist ones as it is. A little bit of research would have saved the investors lots of money and grief.

Marc Lamont Hill is all anyone needs to know!
Use to be on Fox a lot bashing whitey and Republican conservatives.

A mainstay on the BNC.

Climate change? Nope

Puti? Nope

Covid? Nope.

Lack of listeners? Yep.

Hardly a Hugh and series political constituency.

Their intended audience isn't interested in "news".

I had to laugh when considering who may have paid for advertising in that channel.

[butlerweave]

They found out not enough Blacks out there to keep the channel going ?

A racist news organization of dark skinned people fails. That is good news.

[relictele]

A lesson the networks have yet to learn.

The free market is white supremacy.

Wasn’t JC Watts a pretty decent guy? Did he go bad somewhere along the line?

[Allegra]

So…not too big to fail?
