On Christmas Eve, REVOLT, Diddy’s multi-genre, multi-platform network that focuses on artists and the music industry, announced a deal with DirecTV that will provide customers the option to view REVOLT on channel 384.
The distribution agreement between REVOLT and DirecTV announced a day before Christmas means that the company will now be featured among DirecTV’s more than 220 general-interest, high quality channels. Nearly six months ago, REVOLT became available on AT&T Services, Inc. U-verse TV customers, which we reported here on HBCU Buzz at the time.
