MBC cable network brainstorm in DC to improve black TV

Robert Townsend is known for his silliness, but he's also known for trying to keep with the unspoken Bill Cosby code of ethics in his projects.

Thursday, Townsend along with MBC owners: Network Chairman and CEO, Willie E. Gary, four-time heavy-weight champion, Evander Holyfield, baseball slugger, Cecil Fielder, legendary Jackson 5 member, Marlon Jackson and broadcast veteran, Alvin James.

In addition to the afore mentioned, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus along with its members came together at the National Press Club to detail the work that Townsend will generate for the fledgling network.

The core programming for the network will continue to show the owners unwavering commitment to redefine television by producing innovative and engaging family-friendly programs for black America.

Townsend spoke about his vision and quest to find rising stars (actors/actresses, writers, directors, musicians) for new programming that will air on MBC Network this fall.
