Comedian Byron Allen Buys the Weather Channel for $300 Million

Comedian and producer Byron Allen acquired the Weather Channel TV network as he looks to expand his film and TV production company into a major media business.



Allen’s Entertainment Studios Inc. bought the network from Blackstone Group, Bain Capital and Comcast Corp., according to a statement Thursday. The price was approximately $300 million, according to a person familiar with the terms

Byron Allen's story is amazing. Dude was a terrible comic, but due to sheer grind he made himself a media mogul. And he's doing it quietly with no media fanfare and promotion (can't have you nikkas getting any ideas).

I salute that man. He played a game where everything was stacked against him and is winning. No complaining just action.

If you're a black man, hell a man period, you should :salute:

In before people start posting pics of his white wife.

Oh and most of his shows aside from the judge shows are terrible but I'll be damned if I don't always find myself watching them at like 4am intoxicated on Saturday nights

He didn’t even get the website .

This was prolly done as a favor to just expand his portfolio . Dude was suing Comcast for billions last year . This is prolly just to ease some tension between him and comcast.
Damn you could be right.
