TheGrio, styled as thegrio, is a brand name owned by American media company Allen Media Group for a television network and a website aimed at African-Americans. [1]
TheGrio is to "focus on news and events that have a unique interest and pronounced impact within the national African Americans audience," [2] offering what co-founder and Executive Editor David Wilson feels is "underrepresented in existing national news outlets".
The website's name is derived from the word griot , the term for a West African oral historian and storyteller. [3]
The website originally launched in June 2009 as a division of NBC News. [4] [5] It was founded by the team who created the documentary film Meeting David Wilson . It became a division of MSNBC in 2013. In 2014, it was sold to its founders. [6] In June 2016, Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios acquired the site. [7]
The TV channel was founded as Light TV in 2016 by reality television producer Mark Burnett and his wife, actress Roma Downey, as an inspirational network as part of his chairmanship of MGM Television, which operated the network. It was sold to Entertainment Studios in late 2020, and relaunched as TheGrio TV in January 2021, with a Black-specific programming focus.
After Entertainment Studios purchased the assets of the bankrupt Black News Channel in late July 2022, that network was merged into TheGrio TV on August 1, including the former's existing cable, satellite and advertiser supported on-demand streaming carriage, and plans to add more news and commentary to TheGrio TV's schedule. [8]
Light TV and This TV were both sold by MGM TV in October 2020 to the Allen Media Group division of Entertainment Studios. [9] On December 3, 2020, it was announced that the network would be relaunched as TheGrio.TV on January 15, 2021, carrying lifestyle and entertainment programming of interest to the Black American community as an extension of the website. [10]
That same day, Light TV's satellite transponder space was taken over by Entertainment Studios, which stopped carrying programming in the interim and instead transmitted a test pattern promoting the launch of TheGrio (later a looping launch promo), while MGM continued to carry a stream of Light TV through the network's website. Fox Television Stations confirmed its stations would be a part of TheGrio's charter launch group, and much of its affiliate body transferred over through the month-long dark period, though some stations departed for other networks. [11] The network officially relaunched as TheGrio on January 15, 2021, that year's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and that same day MGM handed over the domain of Light TV to Entertainment Studios, ending the stream of Light TV.
On January 1, 2025, at 5AM EST, TheGrio went dark as a linear television network. It remains available on cable providers, along with its FAST channel presence.[ citation needed ]
TheGrio TV currently provides 16 hours of programming to its affiliated stations every day from 8:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern Time, with paid programming filling the remaining vacated hours.
From 2016 until 2021, TheGrio TV (as Light TV) featured several series and movies meant to fit the network's family-oriented approach, including content from the MGM film and TV library or acquired through outside sources. [12] [13] Infomercials were added to the Light TV lineup in 2019, occupying all of the overnight hours and into the early morning.
The then-new over-the-top (OTT) faith-based channel was under development as early as September 2014 when MGM purchased 55% of One Three Media and LightWorkers Media, owned by Hearst Entertainment, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, and consolidated them into United Artists Media Group. [14] With MGM purchasing Hearst and Burnett and Downey's shares in UAMG, the channel was still a planned streaming service. However, Hearst and Burnett and Downey retained their stakes in the channel. [15]
MGM announced the formation of Light TV on December 15, 2015, with a launch planned for December on thirteen major market stations owned by Fox Television Stations. [16] The network launched on January 20, 2016 [17] with two stations, and the rest of the group's stations.
The network was intended to carry new and original content from LightWorkers as part of Burnett's chairmanship of MGM's television division, but never ended up carrying any new content, only featuring rerun and library content already seen on MGM's This TV (a film-oriented network) and MGM HD, along with low-cost barter programming such as Heartland , which was already in wide syndication across multiple channels, and other generic inspirational or family-friendly content. By 2019, the network added paid programming which made up its late night and early morning schedule, reducing its programming commitment further. [18]
Below is a current list of programming broadcast on TheGrio: [19]
Light TV
As Light TV, the network space initially launched on subchannels of fourteen Fox and MyNetworkTV stations owned by Fox Television Stations, with most of the initial affiliates being owned-and-operated stations of the Fox Broadcasting Company. [21] MGM then offered the network to stations outside the initial markets. [22] The Allen Media Group-owned stations will be in bold since they own the network as of 2021.
