Black News Channel Reaches Carriage Agreement

0

A news network dedicated to covering “the unique perspectives, challenges, and successes of Black and Brown communities” has secured its latest wide-scale distribution agreement.


As such, subscribers to one major MVPD will now have access to the channel led by President/CEO Princell Hair.

Cox video customers now have the option to watch BNC on Contour, its MVPD service. Cox Communications customers can find the network by speaking “BNC” into their Contour Voice Remote.

With the addition of Cox Communications’ subscribers across 18 states, BNC’s linear distribution in North America marks another step in BNC’s growth; the network debuted in 2020.

Among the markets where Cox operates are New Orleans, San Diego, Phoenix and Las Vegas.

The Cox agreement comes following MVPD deals with Comcast, DirecTV, Charter/Spectrum, Dish and Verizon Fios.

For those without access to those MVPDs, there is “BNC GO,” a distinct live streaming product that launched in September. It delivers 18 hours of original programming each weekday and is accessible via the Roku Channel (Ch.173), Amazon Fire TV, Pluto (Ch. 230), Tubi, Samsung TV Plus (Ch. 1024), and Vizio.
