...and discovers that some youth oriented lifestyle network has been holding on to the name "Music Television" for 30 years...
OK, with that out of the way, here's Puffy's description (via B&C): Sean Combs, the entertainment impresario known as Diddy, is planning to launch a music-themed cable network, according to three sources with knowledge of his plans. The channel is called Revolt and is aiming to launch at the end of the year--12/12/12, to be specific. Sources with knowledge of the Revolt playbook describe it as a music and music news channel with an urban skew. One described it as the old days of MTV, but for more of the African American audience. The venture is well funded, say the sources. Former MTV programming chief Andy Schuon is involved with Revolt, according to sources. ...though Puff Daddy, nor cable giants Comcast and Time Warner Cable (who are said to be providing distribution) would comment on the reports. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/479492-EXCLUSIVE_Sean_Diddy_Combs_Planning_To_Launch_Music_Themed_Cable_Network.php -- Wesley McGee http://www.ambivi.com http://sterlingnorth.vox.com http://drawing-a-blank.tumblr.com Twitter: @westwit G+: http://plus.google.com/113413697748381364954 Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wesleymcgee -- TV or Not TV ....
