Following in the footsteps of media mogul Oprah Winfrey, entertainment tycoon Sean “Diddy” Combs has decided to join the likes of Earvin “Magic” Johnson and start his own minority-owned cable network, REVOLT. The idea was conceived by Combs and MTV veteran Andy Schuon and will have programming including music videos, live performances, music news and interviews:
According to Diddy, REVOLT will be a revolution in music on television, a place where artists and their viewers come together and engage with technology and social media:
It’s a channel where new artists can share their work in the way it was meant to be: raw, uncut, and uncensored. REVOLT was selected by Comcast to be the first music network to truly leverage the power of social media, fueling the live music dialogue and influencing the music culture for the video-centric generation.
In addition to REVOLT, Comcast and NBCUniversal will have three other new minority-owned channels including Magic Johnson’s Aspire network, Hollywood director Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey network and Spanish-language TV veteran Constantino “Said” Schwarz’s BabyFirst Americas network. Watch Diddy’s announcement after the jump.

I absolutely love this idea! #TeamDiddy.
Diddy and Comcast are some fake fucks.. I SENT THIS PROPOSAL TO COMCAST LAST APRIL WHEN THEY HAD THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
to continue my rant.. they stole this idea. I proposed Dotte.tv the first social network tv station .. i guess they were looking for good ideas to steal..
FUCK COMCAST FUCK DIDDY… im getting some doe.. and mami magazine and dotte tv are gonna be a thorn in his fuckin side.
Diddy.. i know you are reading this.. from one F.& A.M. to another.. this shit aint on the level.
so basically it’s youtube on cable TV…right
cosign YOUTUBE on a Cable TV …..wtf diddy couldnt think of something more ORIGINAL???
This is gonna be a hot mess, just like him. If it’s not, I’ll be shocked. If he’s contributing nothing more than his name and letting other people do the work, there’s a chance for success.
Just another n-word abuser getting a business opportunity because they know he won’t turn it into anything that’ll threaten their position of power. In other words, they ain’t got nothing to worry about from the likes of Sean “P Diddy” Combs!
I’m Jamaican and I can understand now why African American’s struggle so hard. Wow! When I saw he was announcing this I thought this will bring so many new job opportunities and a space for new faces in music and entertainment.I know that not everything given to us as black people on tv and media is great especially in shows representing us however, I urge you to think of the same white shows, movies, etc that are just as bad that you’ve learned to be ok with watching because you’ve been told they’re “better” Let Diddy have his chance. He’s got the ball not lets see what he does with it.
you know what.. im over it.. [read my rant above..] onward. its not really Diddy’s fault i sent the proposal to Comcast.. if anybody is at fault its them.. i understand the decision..
this is actually a good thing..the more minority ownership of networks the better..
although tv network ownership is really dwarfed in comparison to other forms of media distribution today. Good Luck<< im sure one of the new minority networks is actually going to succeed.
