The word ‘black’ in the name refers to “all colors together”, according to the broadcaster. “Black often has a negative connotation: bilious, black viewer. While it can be something cheerful, something beautiful.” The broadcaster also wants to bring people with different education and experiences together and “be open to something that is different, and someone who is different.”
Kickboxer Remy Bonjasky, actor Achmed Akkabi and presenter Tanja Jess, among others, have expressed their support on social media. The milestone of 50,000 paying members is only the beginning, according to the aspiring broadcaster. “It cannot be otherwise than that we will continue to grow rapidly in the coming weeks,” say the initiators.
Other broadcasters
Among others Ongehoord Nederland and Omroep Groen are also trying to secure a place in the system. Existing broadcasters such as Human and Max are also advertising these months to get new members before January 1.
