Diddy to Launch Cable Network

DIDDY TV: Sean Combs is planning to launch a music-themed cable network called Revolt by the end of the year—12/12/12, to be exact, according to TV trade Broadcasting & Cable. Sources describe it as “a music and music news channel with an urban skew… like the old days of MTV for an African American audience.” Former MTV programming chief Andy Schuon is reportedly involved with the company. Comcast will provide distribution as part of its commitment to the FCC to help launch minority-owned networks. The company plans to launch 10 over the next eight years, including eight Hispanic- or African American-owned channels, and began accepting proposals for the first three last spring. A source said Time Warner Cable will also be involved, with another 18 milion households. (1/23p)
