That would be a smart move, fuse would take over for his revolt channel or he'd merge the two whatever.
Diddy bids $200 mill for Fuse Tv Network
- Thread starter The_King_of_Everything
- Start date
I have Fuse TV and I watch it sometimes
It's not that great (doesn't help that I don't care for any 2014 mainstream music) but at least it plays music all the time unlike the other "music" channels.
And it just came out. Some of these posters excepting this shyt to be one bet levels already. shyt FOX wasnt taken seriously till like ten years after it came out.I have Fuse TV and I watch it sometimes

I'm pretty sure a very small percentage well. No smart business man puts that much of their personal income into purchasing something like this
I think you're referring to Revolt TV - which just came out and Diddy owns or whatever.
Fuse TV has been out since 1994.
You right my bad
bingo.....actually Diddy is PART OWNER along with COMCAST inc. and Highbridge Capital and his billionaire "daddy" Ron Burkle aka "The REAL SEAN JOHN"
I spoke about this months back.......Comcast got PRESSURED into giving or stimulating minority ownership of networks to black moguls such as Magic Johnson and Diddy after pressure from Rep. Maxine Waters and Oprah Winfrey in regards to their eventual "merging" with Time Warner Inc. making them have a virtual monopoly in the cable game...

MARIA BARTIROMO (MSNBC): Was it tough to get the financing to start Revolt TV?
SEAN COMBS: When I actually put up the starting finance myself. Then I worked with a group of private investors (Ron Burkle) and-a financial organization called Highbridge. And it-- you know-- I had to sell my vision, you know

The Internet is closed now, too.
Not really. The Internet is going to be packaged just like cable television fairly shortly.
It's not even about paying for Cable TV, it's the arcane idea of having a programmer actually sit there and program music videos,when a person can go online and play almost any video that has ever been made, let alone new videos.
I really don't know who sits there rubbing there hands like birdman waiting for a video to play....but I guess there are people who do if the network is worth $200 million.
that's exactly my point - why pay for something when you can do a far better job yourself at choosing what YOU want to watch.
For it to be truly successful it would have to be included as part of the standard 'basic' package as no one will pay extra to get that channel and if they do it certainly wont be in the millions.

Comcast been fukking him over...they pissed off Oprah too....they dragged their behinds in regards to carrying her network , cause they wanted part ownership like they got with REVOLT...she wasn't with that...and opted with TIME WARNER...before they finally gave in.....then she was byatching because Comcast was dragging their feet about making it available in HD
I still don't think it's in HD
Them crakkkers at COMCAST got him forking over all this money and they ain't even promoting it right...but that's what happens when you try to FORCE WHITE FOLKS to do something with their money .....the government told COMCAST they need to do this..so you know they gonna go halfhearted
it ain't nothing but a SECTION 8 network with Diddy providing the maintenance......Just like Magic Johnson's ASPIRE network
reason no. 4525 of when THE TANNING OF AMERICA GOES WRONG
once again, you're missing the fukking point.
Diddy wants to create content...he could do what Vlad or 50 do. But he's thinking old school if he thinks TV is where its at.
Its not.
