Kabletown Adding Minority-Owned Channels from Magic, DIddy

[Mark Jeffries]

As part of the agreement that allowed for the acquisition of
NBCUniversal last year, Comcast will be adding four new minority-owned
in whole or in part channels over the next two years, starting with
pre-school channel BabyFirst Americas in April, "positive" African-
American channel Aspire, from Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Gospel Music
Channel, this summer, music vid channel Revolt from Sean Combs in 2013
and Latino entertainment channel (in English) from Robert Rodriguez El
Rey in 2014:

And yet still no BBCA HD, and (at least on my system) no HDNet.

M-D

Robert Rodriguez is still alive?

Meanwhile, both are in Chicago on Comcast.
