Bad Boy Entertainment head Diddy’s Revolt TV is breaking into new territory this holiday season by landing its own channel on television network DirecTV.
Puff Daddy announced the big news on Instagram Christmas Eve (December 24).
Rap veteran Snoop Dogg teamed up with Revolt last month for his hit GGN series.
Each 30-minute episode will feature three guests touching on the latest in news and culture and some of the stars include, Larry King, Pharrell, Russell Simmons, Seth Rogen, and Mike Epps. The first episode will include appearances by Jamie Foxx, Schoolboy Q and Jhene Aiko. Revolt TV also will air past episodes as part of the deal, with new content continuing to be available on Snoop Dogg’s YouTube page. (Deadline)
Last summer, G-Unit’s 50 Cent imagined his hit “Power” show on Revolt TV.
“It’s the number one show on the network now – the second season [premiere] was the largest original series numbers they ever saw at Starz. They’re excited. Those are the kind of numbers that would have made [Diddy’s television network] Revolt a success. It would have did it. [Season three] is green lit. This will be going on for about probably seven seasons. Six or seven seasons. But, you know, they wait ’til after the first show has great numbers every season before they say the next one is green lit. But you know, the arc is written for five at this point.” (Hot 93.7)
