    BET & TVOne will have a new competitor, the Dish Network is launching Punch TV, a new African-American television network.

    The CEO of Punch Television Network, Joseph Collins, says his network offers different programming than the mentioned networks stating, "Punch TV Network targets its audiences based upon psychographics and not merely demographics. As a family-based network, we offer programming for all ages. However, from a psychographic perspective, we offer programming that is designed to quench African American’s thirst for innovative programming."

    Punch TV, a ninety percent African American ownership, will be available for DirecTV subscribers this summer. The programming schedule will include a late night show with Damien Hall, a talk show with Sheryl Lee Ralph, a secular drama "Get Thee Behind Me" and a documentary on the king of Pop Michael Jackson.

    Hopefully more adults will support this instead of the coonish young folks that watch BET.

    I'll give this a shot. Not sure if I'll maintain my interest in it.

    We have a channel here in Canada called Punch TV (or something like it) but it geared towards punk rockers..

    I hope this channel works out. I'll check it out, because I'm tired of the garbage on BET and TV One.

    It will start out conscious and get more coonish as time goes on. Aside from the programs listed it will feature:

    Old UPN reruns
    Old WB reruns
    Off-TBS Tyler Perry sitcom reruns
    Something to do with rap
    Something to do with gospel and Jesus
    Cheaply-made reality/talk show with sassy sistas
    90s ghetto movies like Poetic Justice, Jason's Lyric, etc.

    Don't touch that dial.

    All 3 of those networks, and any other that pop up are retarded.


    BET just might be the worst channel on TV.

    Like Red Punch!!??lol


    I've always said Howard University should take the programming they put on local PBS stations in D.C. and make it a cable network.

    Punch TV sounds whack.


    So
