Revolt: Time Warner Cable Adding Sean Combs’ Network, The One You Never Asked For

Phillip Dampier June 21, 2013 Consumer News, Video No Comments

revoltSean Combs’ Revolt TV will be appearing on your Time Warner Cable lineup whether you want it or not.

The network, projected to launch this fall, is one of four African-American independent cable networks that Comcast pledged to carry as a pre-condition for its merger with NBCUniversal. Time Warner Cable is coming along for the ride, agreeing to launch the channel across all of its cable systems nationwide.

Most of Revolt’s programming is expected to be music programming targeting an urban audience.

Between Comcast and TWC, Revolt will launch in 25 million homes, which is an accomplishment for a network nobody heard of and few asked to receive.

“This is a landmark distribution deal that demonstrates Time Warner Cable’s commitment to bringing a platform for music artists and fans to their subscribers,” said Combs, Revolt’s founder and chairman. “It positions Revolt to come out of the gate strong, and we look forward to igniting the passion of initial audiences across the U.S.”

Discussions with other providers are ongoing, so expect the network to eventually also end on other cable, satellite, and telco-TV systems.

Neither cable company disclosed exactly how much the new network will cost each cable subscriber.
