What if Prince bought his own cable station to show his videos and Protegees and friends like BET?

There are Independent stations in Manhattan like channel J and they show Sex shows why can't Prince buy his own cable station and this way he's sure his music get's played and his videos shown? I think he can if he wants to. Any ideas about this?

You guys have to admit it could swing things back in his favor if he's creative enough with the video's.He could control what shows were played on there too.Then people would flock to him for access.The only thing is i see him making it a pay-per-veiw channel like hbo sad

Which one would he buy? And could he afford it? Would it be a sound investment?
Now hosting his own TV show that is a good possible option... smile.. nod wink 8)

He has his own website and he doesn't do much with that, not even selling collections of older videos and music.

When all else is said and done.This is probably the reason why we wouldn't want him to have a cable station.

Most of Prince's videos are a great cure for Insomnia, it would be a public service channel.

He'd super hype it and then ignore it within a month. Can't you learn anything from history?
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

He just doesn't care if his MUSIC/VIDEOS are PLAYED/HEARD.

How great would it be to pay $10 a month to watch Grafitti Bridge all day long? smile Uuuhg!

Great Idea Natasha !

We all seem 2 be on our computers.
Prince could show videos we could watch on our computers or Prince could do both.

Nah, I'd much rather see the same idea cast upon Michael Jackson's personal life. There might not be that much sex, but it would be sure as hell funny to watch the little guy put on his nose every morning when he wakes up.

Maybe he could do an AM radio station that everyone could tune into.
