Sean Combs (Diddy) launches 24 hour music network – REVOLT TV
(PRNewsire) – The long anticipated launch of REVOLT TV took place at 8 p.m EDT Monday when chairman and founder Sean Combs (also known as Diddy) officially turned on the channel from the steps of Notorious B.I.G.’s childhood home in Brooklyn. Following his introduction, the channel launched by playing its first music video, Notorious B.I.G.’s 1994 hit “Juicy.”
“There was never a question about what video would be on the air when REVOLT went live,” said Combs. “Biggie and I had this dream. We set off on a journey together. He was my partner. He was fearless. He inspires me. And today, Biggie will help to launch REVOLT. Today, that dream becomes a reality.”
