The platform will launch on October 2.
In The Black Network will house a long list of entertainment from the vault of Fox Television Stations, many of which were developed by DuBose while leading Fox Soul. The new network will stream an extensive collection of free entertainment content on a dedicated app available on iOS, Android devices, Apple TV, YouTube and Samsung media players with more distribution partners to follow.
As a long-time television producer, filmmaker, and veteran of the entertainment industry, DuBose was inspired to build his black owned streaming platform that lifts Black storytellers and symbolizes Black pride. The service will include multi-genre content including sports, music, scripted, drama, talk, kids/family and feature films.
“I love everything about our culture: our faith, our resilience, our rhythm, our minds, our love. These pillars are the focus of our curated content which honors and elevates black culture and cultivates pride within our community,” said DuBose. “Throughout my career, I’ve always aimed to uplift Black voices, so bringing this new network to fruition is extremely personal and important to me.
On the programming side, DuBose has partnered with numerous content companies including pocket.watch, a digital-first kids and family studio, Black Waterhorse, a veteran distributor of Black indie films, Maverick Entertainment, a leading distributor and producer of niche, independent and Black Cinema content, along with some of Fox Soul’s licensed library shows.
