TV ONE SETS PREMIERE OF "NEWS ONE NOW" WITH HOST AND MANAGING EDITOR ROLAND S. MARTIN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 9AM/ET

Live Daily News Show with Focus on African American News and Current Affairs will be Simulcast on Radio One Network Stations with 24/7 Interactive Coverage on NewsOne.com

SILVER SPRING, MD, OCTOBER 24, 2013 - TV One, which entertains, informs and inspires Black adult viewers, announced today that News One Now, the first morning news program in history to focus on news and analysis of politics, entertainment, sports, and culture from an explicitly African American perspective, will premiere on TV One Monday, November 4, 9AM/ET.

Host and managing editor Roland S. Martin, the 2013 National Association of Black Journalists' Journalist of the Year and former host of TV One's long-running, award-winning weekly news program, Washington Watch with Roland Martin, leads News One Now doing what he does best: sifting through the headlines of the day to spotlight matters that greatly impact the African American community. News One Now is an evolution of the award winning digital brand NewsOne.com. Launched in 2008, NewsOne.com has seen meteoric growth, currently reaching two million African Americans every month. The television show represents a blend of digital and broadcast, leveraging the engaged audience of NewsOne.com and featuring an interactive, immersive experience. Enlisting the help of news makers, media stars, authors, celebrities, filmmakers, comedians and others, News One Now will be a jam-packed, live one-hour weekday morning news program driven by news headlines, on-set panelists, Skype-net interviews, social media integration, standing segments and discussion of the top mainstream media stories of the day, as well as more obscure stories that touch the African American audience nationwide.

In addition to the telecast, News One Now will be streamed live on Radio One. Each weekday morning, News One Now will kick off via its radio platform at 7AM/ET, airing on Radio One network stations in select U.S. markets. Entering its third hour at 9AM/ET, the radio program will simulcast on its TV One television platform, which will be broadcast from the heart of Washington D.C. from a state-of-the-art studio that offers a stunning view of the Capitol building. Audiences can continue their experience 24/7 with exclusive program content and extended editorial on NewsOne.com and the NewsOne mobile app available in both iOS and Android. Social interaction is at the heart of the show and incorporates conversations from facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Vine, among others, using the hash tag #NewsOneNow.

"Filling a glaring gap in the current cable news programming landscape, News One Now builds off our success online. News One Now extends our presence to a complete multi-platform erpereince where we can serve the African American audience with news and analysis that is specially curated to suit their needs, concerns, interests and passions," said Alfred Liggins, chairman of TV One and CEO and president of Radio One.

"Our program will not only keep Black America abreast of major breaking news and hot-button issues, it will also shed light on peripheral stories that spotlight events and individuals making a concentrated, positive impact in our communities," said Martin. "Our audience can not only expect to be informed, but also enlightened and inspired."

Parallel to the creation of News One Now, TV One has signed an agreement with Martin's media company, Nu Vision Media, Inc. For TV One, Donna Wilson is executive producer and Craig Henry is executive in charge of production.
