LOS ANGELES, CA (FEBRUARY 17, 2022)—Two years ago, Fox Broadcasting Network unveiled FOX Soul, an ad-supported streaming channel aimed at African American viewers.  It’s a hit and time to celebrate. 
 
FBN has a history of providing the African American viewer with entertaining programming going back to popular series like “In Living Color,” “Martin,” and “Living Single.”  However, the messaging often gets lost due to its conservative news channel.  Nevertheless, FOX Soul’s interactive streaming platform was explicitly created and dedicated to the African American viewer.  The programs aim to celebrate black culture and deal with real topics that impact the everyday lives of the black community through frank and insightful dialogue with local and national influencers.  General Manager and Head of Programming James DuBose says, “
FOX Soul is Fox’s first live and interactive OTT (over-the-top media) service dedicated to the Black community.  Although FBN owns and funds FOX Soul, Black executives are making the decisions from top to bottom and inside out.   DuBose concludes, “Everyone has a voice and a story.  I believe the community is better served when those voices and stories can be heard and appreciated beyond the privacy of our homes.  Our purpose for the existence of FOX Soul is to provide that platform.  It’s essential that we develop content that entertains, educates, and inspires.  We must continue to showcase all the great attributes we have as a culture.  We do that by continually recognizing our rhythms and our blues through our content.”
