The Washington-based HBCUX Network, backed principally by two former veteran executives of Black Entertainment Network (BET), the cable television channel, say they hope their social media venture will be able to distinguish itself enough to be considered a valued complement to the growing cast of social media sites courting HBCU audiences.
HBCUX, which plans to be accessible via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with six to eight hours of programming a day starting Monday, plans to make its debut from the campus of Norfolk State University in the Tidewater area of Virginia.
