Former Oklahoma Congressman J.C. Watts says he's planning to start a television news network.
Watts told the New York Post this week the network will target a black audience and will begin early next year.
He says the network will be called the Black Television News Channel and will provide news that go beyond crime stories.
He did not say how much the project might cost or what his financial backing is.
Watts is a former University of Oklahoma quarterback and was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1995 where he served four terms.
He now lives in Washington and operates the J.C. Watts Companies.
