From Madame Noire Business:

Two entertainment powerhouses have teamed up — again. Tracey Edmonds, who brought us such films as Soul Food and Hav Plenty through her Edmonds Entertainment Group Inc., has partnered with BET founder Robert L. Johnson to launch a faith-focused digital network called Alright TV, debuting Easter Sunday, March 31.

Edmonds, president and CEO of Alright TV, announced the new programming slate of family-oriented and faith-friendly content developed for the channel created in collaboration with YouTube, reports Target Market News.

The network will feature comedies, talk, reality, music, and online streaming of Sunday church services from around the country.

“I am very excited about the launch of Alright TV and the broad array of diversified producer-generated content that has been produced and made available through the channel,” said Johnson in a statement.
