CHICREBELLION.TV Becomes First and Only Internet TV Network Targeting Women of Color

Oct. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, OCTOBER 22, 2012--With four outstanding original web series that premiered with the launch of their innovative web site, ChicRebellion.TV ( http://chicrebellion.tv/ ) became the first and only Internet TV Network for women of color. The network develops, produces, distributes, syndicates and airs original web series programming for this audience, and decidedly serves a group of women who are often overlooked within mainstream media.

“As a Black woman who has worked at both mainstream and niche media outlets for more than 15 years, it has always been my passion to find a space for women of color to see themselves,” says Elayne Fluker, Founder and CEO of ChicRebellion.tv. “Now, it's no longer about finding a space, it's about creating a space, and ChicRebellion.tv is a space where women of color don't have to worry about their images being mishandled as we often see on far too many reality shows today. Instead, they can visit ChicRebellion.tv to be enticed, entertained and honored through programming that they can relate to as multi-faceted women with myriad interests and compelling stories.”

With original web series that target Black and Latina women in particular, ChicRebellion.tv content reflects her interests as fashionista, foodie, mom, entrepreneur, career woman, intellectual, partner, powerhouse and much more! Although the on-demand network makes sure to include a variety of nationalities in its programming (one look at the current shows on the network illustrates a diverse group of women who are featured), Fluker says the goal is to uniquely serve an unmet need for the target audience, an audience that has an ever-growing buying power, that studies show over indexes on video consumption, and that responds in great numbers to targeted content. These audiences are what Stephen Palacios of Cheskin Added Value called, “the intercultural new mainstream,” citing that they are growing and evolving at a rate that outpaces other consumer markets.

“We understand the women who make up this important audience and know that for them, the time for a network that caters specifically to women of color is now,” exclaims Fluker, who says ChicRebellion.tv also will syndicate relevant video content from outside producers and production companies.

ChicRebellion.tv network premiered with four original web series and top talent attached to each:

IN HER SHOES - Through moment-in-the-life interviews, host Tai Beauchamp (E! Entertainment on-air correspondent for the Oscars, host of TheGrammys.com, correspondent for InStyle magazine) steps into the world of powerful women of influence to show how they’ve fashioned a life that incorporates ambition, staying beautiful and giving back.
