NY Cursed? Diddy's Revolt TV Struggling to Survive

It hasn’t been a whole year yet since Sean “Diddy” Combs launched his music channel Revolt TV, and already, the network is struggling in the face of the challenges it has encountered. The fact that Time Warner Cable and Comcast are in a proposed merger isn’t going to make things any better.

Revolt TV is partially owned by Comcast, and the proposed merger is discouraging other companies from picking it up. This could prove financially fatal for the new entrant. After all, on average, it takes about $100 million to launch a new channel, and advertising is the primary source of income for most networks. But, in the case of Revolt TV, other cable companies are not picking it up and this in turn is making it unattractive to potential advertisers.

​

One of the tiny hopes for the network is the financial backing of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is worth several hundred million dollars, and may have to dig into his deep pockets in order to save the network. But the massive costs of running a network are tough to handle for even the wealthiest Americans, and Diddy is the first to admit that his wealth is not liquid.

In his case, it would be more beneficial to just drop it. Music television is a thing of the past anyways. Both MTV and Vh1 play reality tv shows, internet killed the video star...no sense in trying to save a sinking ship.

Puffy don't care. nikka still got champagne and clothing income coming in.

Cable TV as we know it is a dying product in general. Once people don't need to rely on them to get their sports its over

 

[Blatlanta]

This shyt flopping is no surprise to me, nikka tryna go back in history by bringing "Music Television" back, that shyt dead...

Everything is internet based now...better off tryna make a more serious music vlog style version of worldstar with a mixtape download component to it

Not happening. Most of cable TV are also provided by isps.

If only there was a way to charge artists for renting time on Revolt similar to how he used his Bentleys.....

I'm surprised Diddy went the cable tv route.. He's usyally ahead of the curve but failed miserable here

 

[Atlrocafella]

Probably one of diddy's worst investment. i understand that he wanted revolt to be the espn of music, but our attention span is too short and we don't need that much information from one source anymore.
