Black Family Channel Announces Broadband TV Launch

ATLANTA, May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Family Channel's slate of original, must-see, award-winning programs will soon be available free as a brand new, feature-rich broadband TV service.

"The cable network known for its family-friendly fare targeting African-Americans and urban communities will now be available to Black families world-wide without gatekeepers and barriers," said Rick Newberger, President and CEO of Black Family Channel. Anyone who has access to a broadband connection at home, at school, or at work will be able to get Black Family Channel. The broadband service is launching soon under the leadership of Hollywood actor and director Robert Townsend and Mr. Newberger.

In tandem with the launch of the broadband service, Black Family Channel announced a cable partnership with Gospel Music Channel, the nation's first and only 24-hour music television entertainment network dedicated to all styles of Gospel and Christian music. "Gospel Music Channel embodies the same traditional values that Black Family Channel set forth," stated Chairman, Willie Gary. "Our mission is the same. Together we will empower and uplift families from all the negative imagery on television. My partners and I believe that expanding into Broadband and joining our cable subscribers together with Gospel Music Channel is a more strategic approach in reaching and serving our audience," continued Gary.
