Multicultural News Network Lands Distribution Deal With Charter
The upcoming 24-hour news network for multicultural communities has a multi-year nationwide linear distribution agreement that will make it available to Charter's Spectrum customers upon the network’s commercial launch.
DuJuan A. McCoy, founder and chairman of the Multicultural News Network, today announced that the Multicultural News Network (MNN) has secured a multi-year nationwide linear distribution agreement with Charter Communications Inc. to make MNN available to its Spectrum customers upon the network’s commercial launch.
“Charter has been an unconditional supporter of me and my companies since my first interactions with my broadcast TV station group in 2015,” said McCoy. “It is to no surprise that Charter is the first major multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) to agree to launch MNN this year. They were also the first MVPD to offer to launch MNN in 2018 when they were first introduced to the network. Working with their programming distribution department and multicultural team has been refreshing. As one of the few black-owned media companies in the United States, I can confirm that Charter is a true advocate for diversity in media and, in my opinion, has been one of the industry leaders and on the forefront of DE&I. I am hopeful that others will take note of Charter’s success in this area and join this necessary movement.”
