 In 2011, civil rights icon Ambassador Andrew Young and Martin Luther King III founded Bounce TV, the first free broadcast network targeted towards African-American audiences. The network offers original content, popular documentaries, live sports and classic movies. One of the original shows that just premiered this fall is “Finding Happy.” Keisha Taylor Starr, the Chief Marketing Officer for Scripps Networks and Bounce TV CMO, joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom along with Kendra Jo, the showrunner of “Finding Happy,” to discuss the new show and its hosting platform.
