On Thursday, FTVLive FIRST reported that Black News Channel parted ways with CEO Bob Brillante.
A day later, Black News Channel reported the same thing that FTVLive reported the day before. Chairman J.C. Watts, Jr. says that he will assume the position of interim CEO until a replacement can be found.
FTVLive reported that word is that former CNN boss Princell Hair is strongly being looked at as that replacement.
“Bob has been with BNC from its inception and has helped nurture this network from the seeds of an idea to the reality of launching a culturally specific news network focused on the diverse perspectives of the African American community,” Watts shared. “We are all grateful for his efforts and his sacrifice, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”
