That's cool. I figured it would be bought by evangelicals and turned into one of those channels where the people and dinosaurs were alive at the same time.

I wonder if he can follow this up by investing into STEM programs that help elevate more students of color into professional roles. He's probably already doing this. It would be a nice 1,2 combo.

It's nice a Black guy has the ability to do this. But what's the angle? Cable is dying, are they transitioning to other modes of communication effectively?

Nice. I wonder what his plans are.

Does this breh have any videos or blogs explaining his business tactics or business sense? His comeup needs to be in a book.

not that i have any clue what a network like that should cost but my initial reaction was "damn only 300 mill for the weather network?!?"

i would've guessed it was worth a lot more than that.
