Why do black people now need their own news station? The guy is also a Republican. Hello, black Fox News!
Former congressman J.C. Watts is behind a major push to launch an all-news channel for black people.
The network, tentatively called Black Television News Channel and slated to launch in early 2009, already has an agreement with Comcast cable to be carried in several cities with large black populations including Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Atlanta and Baltimore.
As yet, there is no deal to carry the channel in New York.
"I'm not so sure that you see anything on CNN or Fox News that specifically targets the African American community," Watts told The Post.
