This section requires expansion. (December 2012) |
On July 7, 2008, Johnathan Rodgers, president and CEO of TV One, announced that the network planned to break from its usual entertainment programming to provide extensive coverage of the Democratic National Convention in August. However, the network didn’t plan any coverage of the Republican Convention. Rodgers explained:
"Sen. Barack Obama running for president is a huge deal for TV One as it is for the African American community," Rodgers was quoted saying to the Associated Press. "African Americans have fallen in love with his candidacy, his family ... we will be covering the Democratic convention all the time. My audience is 93% black," Rodgers added. "I serve my audience."[2]

In August 2012, TV One updated its on-air look and logo, as part of a plan to "tell stories about how African-American life unfolds and to distinguish it from a growing number of competitors."[3]
