Comcast Corp., the largest U.S. cable operator, agreed to distribute new independent networks led by basketball hall of famer Earvin “Magic” Johnson and rap artist Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Johnson and GMC TV, formerly the Gospel Music Channel, will later this year introduce “Aspire,” a network targeted at black families that will broadcast movies, comedy and inspirational programs, according to a statement. Combs’s “Revolt” will air in 2013 with live performances and music videos.
