    After months of uncertainty, Black News Channel (BNC) is shutting down on Friday just two years after its launch.

    Multiple employees told TheWrap they were notified individually that Friday would be the last day of live programming for the Tallahassee, Florida-based network. The channel was launched in February 2020 by former GOP congressman J.C. Watts and broadcast executive Bob Brillante to target Black audiences they felt were underserved by other news outlets.

    One staffer said Friday department heads contacted individual employees by phone to inform them that they were being let go. “I’m disappointed in the way management handled the situation and their lack of transparency,” the staffer told TheWrap. “I’m saddened because there are so many amazing journalists who care about Black and Brown stories and truly believed in the concept. Now with no notice, their lives and livelihoods are in limbo.”

    They could not find an audience. Meaning:
    -Blacks who watch CNN/MSNBC or Fox News were not willing to abandon established White owned Mainstream Media to watch a black alternative.
    -Blacks who increasingly get their news online, were not eager to support an operation that sounded & looked frighteningly like.... a White Mainstream Media stand-in.
    Neither of the above were unpredictable. There is a Civil War going on within Black Society and the stakes are high. #NoTangiblesNoVote #StopAntiBlackRacism #GodLuvUs #NewBlackMedia

    You hit the nail on the head and I believe it’s an age divide. The old school are firmly entrenched with the cable news outlets and the young crowd is moving towards B1.

    "Black News Channel"
    It should've been called the Black And Brown, Beige, LGBT, Everybody (B.A.B.B.L.E) News Channel.

    Also this sentence is complete bullshit,

    "The channel was launched in February 2020 by former GOP congressman J.C. Watts and broadcast executive Bob Brillante to target Black audiences they felt were underserved by other news outlets."

    They were no different from the other news outlets. The only difference is they had bootlicks Black faces in the front reporting the news propaganda. That's literally it.

    When a so-called Black News Channel (BNC) is talking about "Black and brown" and caping for everyone else while insulting and putting down Black people and actual Black interests, then they are ironically underserving and attacking us as well. BNC, along with the rest of the networks, promote Anti-Black Propaganda, which is a form of anti-Black violence. The channel was actually launched to brainwash and undermine Black people, and to get Black people to abandon the idea of self-preservation and reparations so that we can go back to muling for everyone else (who hates us and opposes cash reparations and protections for Black people) and make ourselves more susceptible to genocide and racialized attacks.

    Good freaking riddance. They the BNC will not be missed. At All. The other anti-Black networks and propaganda mills need to follow suit.

    The thing is JC Watts didnt even have anything to do with it. Bob Brillante wanted to start the BABBLE Network 15 years ago and finally got it done. He was CEO of BNC but the optics were dumb so they brought in Princell to make it look like it wasn’t a white operation. This would have worked 15 years ago, it‘s a new day.

    More proof that Black lives and Black prosperity don't matter to non-Blacks and racist Arabs like Shad Khan. These racist whites and others have such deep disgust and disdain for us and even their tools that they'll pull shit like this on them to get in some sick kicks and ensure they remain underpaid and underpowered.

    Welp welp welp, this is what these tools signed up for and they knew what the deal and getdown was. Was it worth it?

    How sad is it that racist foreigners can afford owning an NFL team, while even the likes of Oprah Winfrey can't?!! More Asians and others own or are the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies than Black People are, but once again it's all Black people's fault that we artificially remain socioeconomically at the bottom right? How many more bootstraps do we really need? Oh yeah, cash reparations and active protections for Black people are the real bootstraps that the others refuse to acknowledge and support because those racist self-absorbed POS can't directly benefit from it. Got it.

    I will be honest. I didn't even know this was a thing. LOL

    This just sounds like a means to make money off black folks, not actually support or inform them. If anything, they just made the rest of us look bad. Local channels are almost always better. Most have solid black commentators and reporters. Stay away from the mainstream nonsense.

    Which ones? The ones in my region tow the line and are not the least bit revolutionary.
    Maybe it depends on the area? I have not noticed any issues but I also don't watch the news for much outside of local events and weather. Independents are always an option on YouTube. We have to encourage them though to start making a means to support themselves off the platform before they get canceled.

    Almost 200k subscribers and yet barely over 1,000 views per video in 1-2 days on average. How utterly miserable. Even I can do better than this.

    its pathetic double shot at love GIF by A Double Shot At Love With DJ Pauly D and Vinny


    They went out like a whimpering dog being euthanized in an animal shelter.

    Also, nobody cares about that bedwench supreme court inJustice league sellout.

    And once again. The suspected WS had to celebrate the shut down of BNC alongside us, but for their own typical twisted reasons while making it about themselves and their own agendas.

    Exhibit A:

    Screenshot_20220326_154423.jpg

    Waahhhh Waahhhh WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! 🤡
    Why can't we have a WNC and a WET dog channel?! 🤡

    Y'all already have white channels. They're just called Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, Hallmark Channel, and everything else and y'all already got Young Jurks, Penis Sharpio, Hoe Rogan Podcast, etc on YouTube and elsewhere.

    Stop blaming the right and whitey!!!! You guys and Jussie Smollett are public enemies of the state!!!! 🤡

    ^^ I looked at it wrong. I thought it said 187k subscribers. It's actually 137k subscribers that BNC has. But still... that's close to 150k subscribers. People with less or more subscribers with smaller budgets have done waaaaayyyy better than BNC has.

    What a miserable performance and existence.

    Lol and them WS in these comment sections are all like:
    Yeah!! BNC shut down!! That'll show the left and them n-words to being so uppity and racist against wypipo. Lol. Stop being divisive. 🤡

    Lol. These racist white dumbfucks really think this is a win for them...

    Those are likely bots. They do this with most "new" channels on YouTube, even the big ones. You can tell when they have way more subs than views per video.

    BNC was owned by Shad Khan, but he is more with white people than he is with black people. Real black media should be owned by real black people.
    Hell in the mind of Shady Khan (pronounced "Con"), he's honorary white or a special dark white person with an East Indian / Arab background who is above and "better than" the negroes. Shining example of the model minority. And dark white model minorities like Khan along with the colorless bleached East Asians and white Latinos don't belong in the fictional POC Coalition as they are proud honorary white supremacists and race soldiers.

    Remember,

    This is the guy that made Black News Channel. It was his baby and brainchild and he was behind the scenes. Shahid Khan just put the money up. BNC was a White created and ran operation funded by a Pakistani.

    Regardless, he's still a honky.

    If you think he's going allow a real black news organization to tell the full absolute truth of white supremacy and how it controls the levers of government and sophisticated socio-economic oppression of the entire black community, you are whistling dixie and smoking crack!

    Wow. This Bob Brillante humanoid has not one, but at least 2 utter failures under his belt. The BNC just failed and before that, another channel of his called FNC also failed.

    What is with this racist white Italian guy's obsession with Black people and Black culture? Between him and Michael Rapaport, this is just....
    And then like leeches, they attach themselves to us and try to bring everyone else involved in Black politics, Black interests, and Black culture / society at our detriment.

    This is what utter white mediocrity failure looks like. Now imagine if white supremacy didn't exist and Bob Brillante had lack of access to prestigious connections. He would be an unimportant noname that's failing downwards and struggle trying to make it in the underground / grey / black market economy rather than the mainstream economy because he has nothing else to offer in this world except more dysfunction, suffering, and confusion for his own selfish reasons.

    So true and why white supremacy is welfare for white people. White people can fail upwards in this system while we have to be perfect and still hit a glass ceiling.

    He will have another tv station in a year or two with just as much funding if not more. What he learned is that he doesn’t understand Black American culture.

    The entire organization was out of touch and paid the price. Hopefully he starts Italian news network.
