First 24-hour news channel "by and for" African Americans set to launch during Black History Month

The Black News Channel, founded by a former Republican congressman, will try to win the growing Black cable news audience. Concerns about who’s running the network have raised the question: Can it succeed?

"...But I just can't get past the fact that it’s run by two Republican white men.”

Founded by former Rep. J.C. Watts, a Republican from Oklahoma, the network will premiere in 33 million households primarily in large African American markets such as New York City, Los Angeles and Atlanta.
