The cannel will gear toward black audiences. Ebony TB will be on Samsung TV plus tomorrow. By the end of the month it will be available on The Roku Channel, Tubi, and Amazon Freevee.
So far, article-based films "The Great Debaters" , book-based film If Beale Street Could Talk and Jackie Brown will be available on Ebony TV. Hopefully more book-based films will be added to the channel.
