The nation's first news channel that focuses on the black community is scheduled to launch Monday.
Black News Channel will offer original programming "created by people of color for people of color," its website says.
Gary Wordlaw, BNC's vice president of news and programming, said the channel will not be partisan in an interview with The Baltimore Sun last week.
"At 6 a.m. on February the 10th, we're going to give the nation a look at the black community that has not been seen on any other network," Wordlaw said. "Our mission is to illuminate and to tell the truth. We're not partisan. We're not political. We're journalists. And we want to give good stories from the peoples' perspective. We should be the peoples' network."
It's an interesting concept. And one that has value/merit.
But I'm almost positive we'll hear from those who always have something negative to say about anything that's new, fresh, out-of-the-box, creative, etc.
In fact....... I can almost hear them now........
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
