Sean Combs, the entertainment impresario known as Diddy, is planning to launch a music-themed cable network, according to three sources with knowledge of his plans. The channel is called Revolt and is aiming to launch at the end of the year--12/12/12, to be specific.
Sources with knowledge of the Revolt playbook describe it as a music and music news channel with an urban skew. One described it as the old days of MTV, but for more of the African American audience. The venture is well funded, say the sources.
This is an excellent idea and I'm behind it 100%. You would be hard pressed to find something involving Diddy that I'm not willing to watch and this would be no exception. Besides, I can't wait to see what happens to the careers of on-air talent once their dropped from the network.
And with being said, here's a few original show suggestions for Revolt:
-"Remember Me?"
This would be a game show where contestants try to identify former Bad Boy artists through a series of questions.
-"REALigion with Shyne & Loon"
This would be a religious talk/debate show hosted by the 2 rappers Diddy drove deep into religion, Shyne and Loon.
-"The PerSUIT"
This would be a reality competition show to find the next great suit maker, of course hosted by Chopper. (Yes, it will be in his contract that he will have to wear the original Chopper Suit in every episode.)
Diddy, you're welcome.
