Congrats to dude. Dude has quietly been in beastmode for awhile now.

That being said, I know it shouldn't matter, but I do find it annoying that Coli refers to every white woman as a pawg.

Some more info on what Byron also owns at the moment

Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios Acquires The Weather Channel TV Network For $300 Million

Allen, a comedian-turned-entrepreneur, has been growing his Entertainment Studios, which became the largest independent producer of first-run syndicated programming. In 2009, Allen launched six 24-hour HD television networks: Pets.TV, Comedy.TV, Recipe.TV, Cars.TV, ES.TV, and MyDestination.TV.

In the past few years he has also emerged as an indie film producer and distributor acquiring Freestyle Releasing in 2015. His recently movie successes include 47 Meters Downand Scott Cooper’s Hostiles, and his 2018 pics via Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures include Toronto Film Festival buys Chappaquiddikk and Replicas.


With the acquisition of The Weather Channel and Local Now, Allen expands into live and local cable news. The Entertainment Studios divisions now include broadcast television syndication, production, and distribution of more than 41 programs; eight 24/7 cable television networks; theatrical motion picture production, acquisition and distribution; digital movie acquisition and distribution; and global news publishing – making Entertainment Studios one of the largest privately held media companies in the world.

Entertainment Studios is 100% owned by Allen, who started the company from his dining room table 25 years ago.:wow:

Thats because part of that 3.5 billion consisted of The Weather Company's product and technology assets which Comcast told off to IBM. Comcast only retained the cable network itself. Nothing more. So the network isn’t worth that much.

Ok.

:ohhh:

Thanks, this changes my perspective of the deal. With all the channels he owns he can probably leverage them together to get good deals on advertising and subscription fees

Y'all c00ns will devalue anything black or black owned. If a white dude did this same deal y'all would be in here saying how this is a awesome deal and how black people should start doing stuff like this. Now y'all talking about it didn't come with the app and website and how nobody watch the weather channel no more and why was it so cheap. Then bringing up how white women love black men and how white women choose marrying black men over marrying white men. Y'all can't fathom black people being billionaires buying networks and owning shyt

His business model is genius....

fukking...genius...

Like when I read about how exactly he makes his money...it's just about impossible for him to NOT make money hand over fist...

I wonder how much money he REALLY has...as in paying 300 million for something is probably nothing to him...

Byron might really have the money that Jay Z always says he has...
could you post a link where you read this?
