Former Rep. Watts To Start New Black Television News Channel
J.C. Watts, the former House Republican from Oklahoma, will start a new television news station focused on black audiences in 2009.
Watts, who runs his own communications firm and frequently appears as a cable news pundit, has signed an agreement with Comcast to air the station, called the Black Television News Channel, in Philadelphia, Detroit, Washington D.C., Atlanta and Baltimore, the New York Post reports.
“I’m not so sure that you see anything on CNN or Fox News that specifically targets the African American community,” Watts said in an interview with the Post.
Watts served in the House from 1995 to 2003.
