Potential replacement for the black news channel outlet hopefully it is sustainable.

The media/TV business is driven by advertisement revenue which means companies will advertise on the platform if there are eyeballs. We always complain about not being represented or our issues lacking coverage. Increased audience viewership = Increase advertisement revenue = more money for the network to spend on programming and attract talent.

I hope this show succeeds, and begins a shift towards serious news content being profitable.

As it stands now, the younger part of the key viewing demographic is the first generation in decades that grew up without readily accessible Black journalism.
