ITBN has partnered with Black Enterprise, African Diaspora Network TV, REVOLT Mixtape, HomesteadPlus, Shades of Black, World One TV and One Culture to bring their FAST channels to its ad-supported VoD platform, which now hosts over 90 digital channels.

ITBN, which launched last year, said viewers can expect an expanded selection of titles, from action-packed adventures and laugh-out-loud comedies to culturally significant content like faith-based storytelling and compelling documentaries.

ITBN recently added dating reality series, Finding My Romeo, hosted by Romeo Miller, in which one bachelor goes on a quest for true love among a group of singles. It joined ITBN’s line-up of original programming featuring celebrities, including Food for Thought with DeVon Franklin.

James DuBose, CEO and founder, said ITBN will announce key original scripted productions “in the coming months.”

DuBose spent three years at Fox Soul, which launched in early 2020, before leaving in 2023 to set up ITBN.
