Revolt (TV network)
Revolt is an American music-oriented digital cable television network and media company founded by Sean Combs and Andy Schuon. The TV network launched on October 21, 2013, as part of a larger agreement with Comcast. As of 2024, Detavio Samuels is CEO, while the company's employees are the majority shareholding group.
Revolt's cable network is primarily dedicated to hip-hop and urban contemporary music genres, with music video blocks comprising most of the network's schedule. The network's non-music programming covers African-American culture, especially hip-hop, as well as social justice issues.
As of July 2021, Revolt's cable network was available in 50 million U.S. households.
As part of its arrangement to acquire a minority interest in NBCUniversal, Comcast committed to carry several minority-owned networks. The arrangement followed pressure led by Maxine Waters in congressional hearings. In April 2011, Comcast solicited proposals for minority-owned networks.
In February 2012, Comcast announced distribution arrangements for four networks, including Revolt. The four announced networks and six forthcoming stations were being chosen from among in excess of 100 proposals to begin airing by 2020. On October 1, 2013, Revolt announced that it would debut in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago on October 21.
AT&T U-verse added the SD feed on July 27, 2015, and the HD feed on November 24, 2015; DirecTV would add the feed on December 24, 2015.
On October 18, 2019, Ziggo announced that it would launch a Netherlands version of Revolt on November 1, 2019, in-collaboration with Dutch record label TopNotch, and AreaMedia. Its programming would consist of interviews, news, hip-hop documentaries, live events, and music videos. During its first months of broadcast, the US version of the channel would be shown on a 6-hour delay; from January 2020, Dutch programmes would be broadcast. The Dutch version was eventually closed on February 1, 2021.
In Canada, Revolt would be part of the launch lineup of Live TV service RiverTV on June 4, 2020.
