Black Web 2.0 Interviews Bob Johnson about his Urban Television 24/7 Infomercial Sharecropping Channel-Admits Content may Not be "'Broadcast Quality
Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 8:09AM The Blogmother
Angela Benton from Black Web 2.0 interviewed Bob Johnson about his current scheme to manipulate telecommunications law and acquire an unfair business advantage of other minority broadcasters.
We all know that Bob Johnson likely lying through his teeth is likely exaggerating, but his description of Urban Television is a great fictional monologue if you need to be entertained.
Bob Johnson explains how he has bribed Ebony and ESSENCE into silence with the promise promised Ebony and ESSENCE that he MIGHT carry their content on Urban Television. He describes the "vetting" process for programmers. Angela asks him specific question about bloggers getting their content on his channel. He says that it is possible as long as there is no signal degradation. He then purports that he may not charge non-profits as much as for profits. BWAHAHA! Well great, then he won't mind putting those not-for profit rates in writing
Proving that traditional Black media has one foot in the grave, this podcast is the most in depth explanation of what Urban Television would end up being if its application wasn't going to be denied by the FCC due to overwelming opposition from mobilized angry Black women :) Hey, if Bob Johnson can dream so can I! There are two more segments to the interview that will be posted later.

Well my favorite Boondocks episodes are the banned ones where he satirized BET. I was always surprised that he hadn't included Bobcat Bob. Hopefully one is coming.
Thanks Gina for the information. I will listen to the podcast. See you in June at BWB.
It is information like this about cable stations (especially those geared towards the black community) that make me so glad that I don't get any of those stations and am not contributing to the funding of foolishness and buffoonery.
Thank you Gina for telling it like it is and by saying what you mean and meaning what you say!

Speaking of BET, the network recently announced it wants to clean up its act:

I'll believe this when I see it.
Please keep on this. You are telling the truth, and it needs to be heard.
