New Urban Entertainment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Urban Entertainment Television (NUE-TV) was an American cable network targeted toward African-American audiences. It was a direct competitor to Black Entertainment Television (BET), but was aiming for a more mature audience with more news. It operated between July 17, 2000 and October 31, 2002 and reached close to 3 million subscribers. In 2003, it was permanently shut down due to financial difficulties. A big investor was Radio One and many employees came from BET.
