TV One Cancels NewsOne Now

TV One has canceled NewsOne One Now. In a memo released on Wednesday afternoon, TV One’s interim GM, Michelle Rice stated:

"After four years of award-winning programming and distinguished service to our viewers as the only black daily newscast on television, the network has made the difficult decision to suspend the production of NewsOne Now as a daily morning news show."

NewsOne Now's last live broadcast will air December 21st, 2017.

I am from Canada and look to this show to provide the black perspective in America! it is a shame the network is walking away from this show!

[ebonywhite]

[jtjujyu]

This is the biggest mistake of TVONE this was a place where Black America get their news SAD!

[DangerousUrNot]

This was the only black show. I learned a lot and being a political science major, this really pisses me off🤬🤬🤬

[brucejones]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ROLAND. KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT.

This is a dam shame, Roland you have done tremendous things, but the machine has gotten to the ppl that own that station and as usual blacks always give into these white ppl. I am deeply hurt and pissed about this. Our voice needs to be heard and your show has been the only one that has delivered on a consistent basis. Where you go I will be there.

Thank you for this great show.

No don't boycott the network...build another B.E.T. like Bob Johnson did but DO NOT sell it this time. We have enough money to carry our own. I will actually pay a bill for access to an all black network.

The day that he goes, I will stop watching TV One. He's the only reason why I was watching the channel. They are going to lose a lot of viewers. I hope they're ready for the drop of ratings!

[rmnant]

This is a disgrace... TV ONE Should be ashamed!!

[VictorEzell]

Roland, start your own show here on YouTube . Me and my friends will subscribe. This is the only place we are able to come get news about our community. I'll still be looking to see you. Many Blessings

[misterliquidcity]

Very sad to see this show go. And i hope this is not truly the end but just a beginning of a new journey for us all. Thank you for your voices

Going to miss you Roland. Love watching your show because you show the world that there are talented educated African Americans in all aspects of America.

Other news networks don’t feel and real as your show.

I’ll be looking out for your next show.

RL from Canada god bless!!!

[deannte]

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!! NOBODY FOOLED BY THIS!

[mmone]

Ohh Noo! This News program is very important to our community especially with the midterm elections coming up!!!

[Tigerfist]

This is unfortunate. Well Black People lets come together and PRACTICE GROUP ECONOMICS like Dr. Claude Anderson has been suggesting and FUND OUR OWN BLACK Network Show. Roland I look forward to you providing a Link to help support you in the future brother man.

[roni]

Yall know how Roland do.. they tried before to stop him but they cant.. he will be back on tv soon

[Antoinette]

Sad to see it go. Black people want to see Black news, we need that. Anything that is Black is attacked.

[shaunibee]

There's really nothing to look at on TV one anyways . I don't know if I will continue to support that channel. I enjoyed Roland's perspective on what's going on and he was one of the few that was honest and stood up for us African Americans. No thank you to the million reruns of shows.
