Punch TV

Punch TV is the only African American network that brings a roster that includes such a high percentage of new programming. Marketing research reveals that African Americans tend to be trendsetters in areas such as apparel, automobiles, and food.  Punch TV has incorporated this pattern into its core programming.  Our late night show, hosted by Damien Hall (who is currently with the new jack swing group Guy), is sure to quench your late night thirst.  We have a complement of original talk shows, one of which stars veteran actress, singer, writer and producer, Sheryl Lee Ralph.  Punch TV has selected as one of its anchor shows, “Get Thee Behind Me”, an original secular drama with faith-based messages that strategically integrates comedy. In addition, Punch TV has acquired rights to a never seen before documentary about the life and death of Michael Jackson-The King of Pop.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 Punch TV Network differs from current “African American” television networks in another aspect. While definitely an African American network that uses research-driven approaches to target African Americans audiences, Punch TV was also designed to deliver entertainment to multicultural audiences.  Visit our website: www.punchtv.net.  Punch TV represents a Multi-Media experience that satisfies and excites viewers
