Exciting news for James DuBose's media platform, In The Black Network! The network, which aims to amplify content from Black creators, is headed to Hollywood thanks to a major investment from Fab Factory. After only six months since its launch, ITBN has already secured a majority stake from Fab Factory, which will help take the platform to new heights.
The details of this "major" deal are still under wraps, but it has been confirmed that ITBN will now be housed in Netflix's old post-production studio in East Hollywood. This three-story, 66,000-square-foot space will serve as both Fab Factory's headquarters and a shared location for DuBose's growing media platform. With shows like Brutally Honest with Jasmine Brand, CheMinistry, The Score, and Worth a Conversation with Jeezy, ITBN offers a diverse range of programming that celebrates all aspects of Black culture.
In a statement, Fab Factory Co-CEOs Rebecca O'Hara and Steve Fabos expressed their admiration for James DuBose and his team at In The Black Network. They acknowledged the cultural importance of the platform and its ability to provide audiences with content that truly honors and elevates Black culture. DuBose also shared his excitement about this partnership, highlighting the support and understanding that Fab Factory has shown for his vision since the inception of ITBN in October 2023.
This investment comes at a time when DuBose has been discussing his plans for ITBN's growth and expansion. Following his departure from Fox Soul last year, he has been dedicated to building In The Black Network into a global destination for Black content. As he told BLACK ENTERPRISE in a recent interview, his goal is for ITBN to become the go-to platform for Black content, eliminating the need for viewers to download multiple apps to access such content. With the recent launch of ITBN Africa, DuBose is well on his way to achieving this vision.
The future looks bright for In The Black Network, and we can't wait to see what this partnership with Fab Factory will bring. With its commitment to showcasing and celebrating Black voices and stories, ITBN is poised to make a significant impact in the media landscape. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from this dynamic and innovative platform.
