The channel has value. Rare platform that, by default, reaches older and serious minded Black consumers.
Mostly everything else is geared towards kids and childish adults.
Had national distribution via the cable and satellite providers they were on.
Would have to be retooled, but it could come back.

Nope. Some folks want a job though. A few have found other jobs
I don't think so. I feel like that demographic you're talking about is still watching tv and older and they not opening links on the regular to watch their news. Tbh they needed a mix of the Rolands of the black media to balance it but

Pennies on the dollar.I am not even sure $11MM would cover the costs of one production studio.

At that point he may as will shift the platform to youtube lol, but if I understand correctly Bryon's whole game was buying cheap channels and then making bread from ads or something?
