To be honest, I don't watch a whole lot of cable tv these days, my time is mostly reserved for Yotube and streaming platforms. But TV is to me, a dying medium that will eventually turn to streaming if it hasn't already.

Anyway, I know we have BET, but are there any other black run networks out there? Hell I don't even know if BET is black run with the way they're having Fat Joe of all people hosting events. But are there any other black run networks in the US and around the world that we can either subscribe to through cable or through some kind of streaming platform?

    BET hasn't been black run in a while. We don't have any network that is led and run by black men or women. It is always some old white investors or jews. Someone like Oprah with a lot of money needs to invest in something like this and start it up but I honestly don't trust her at this point. It would need to be someone else with money that can be trusted.

    We have them but they don't get much shine or support. I do my part sharing the links everywhere I go.


    www.BlackJunction.tv (Its like JewsTube but without the pink ppl and flags)

    www.BlackJunction.com (It looks just like FB but without the pink ppl)

    www.TruUtube.com (It is 1 year old and I like the membership I hold)


    These are the Black owned sites that I have made my stomping grounds.

    Our people need to STOP selling out & pass the legacy down to future generations! 💯

    If it's not about Black interest it might as well be White owned. We need Black-owned networks that are unapologetically Black. None of that Black and Brown, Independent Black Women, or other agenda laden crap.
    Jay? You and brother Dimitry what happen with that?

    I haven't touched BET since I found out it was mostly run by white people, plus Viacom owning it, as they own pretty much every network out there.

    I wish there was a network ran by us and owned by us. Would be so cool to finally see something like that happen. Especially since I know there is a want for something like it.

    Nice, thanks for sharing. I'll have to check some of these out soon. Any chance these sites have options to subscribe to them? Or are they mostly online networks?

    Don't forget kweli.tv ... Easy enough to remember (kweli means really in Swahili) .. There are a lot of indies, short/web projects, and films from the diaspora that are really good ... Check em out

    I have never heard of these! I will have to check them out. Maybe if people can start building them up more, we can see something big in the next 5 to 10 years. We really do need our own spaces at this point so we can thrive. Can't do that with the government working against us, racists working against us, and jews running the entertainment industry.

    We have to support them. If we do not support them they will not prosper. There's still some "The white man's ice is colder" coursing through our veins.
