OKLAHOMA CITY — Former U.S. Rep. J.C. Watts is developing a cable news network targeting a black audience.
Black Television News Channel, scheduled to launch in 2009, will provide “original news programming with a distinctly African-American perspective,” according to a news release. It recently announced a multiyear agreement with Comcast Corp.
Watts, a Republican, represented Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional District from 1995 to 2003 and now heads the J.C. Watts Cos. in Washington.
