Ep 11: The Lost Episode: We Almost Changed Our Streaming Name

Editor’s Note: This episode was recorded during a strategy conversation when we were considering the name Fan Fuel TV. Since recording, we made the decision to keep the name Black On Demand TV and move forward with the Black On Demand Mobile App because of our existing audience on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and our growing community base.

We decided to release this lost episode anyway because it captures the real-time founder journey before our Juneteenth launch. The Lost Episode: We Almost Changed The Name… Then Gave The Community Free Shares in the company.

In Episode 11 of The Build Black Show , we take you inside a raw, behind-the-scenes conversation that almost changed the future of Black On Demand TV . At the time of this recording, we were seriously considering a new name — Fan Fuel TV — as we discussed building a Black-owned tech company, launching a mobile app, and giving the community access to free shares.

But after more strategy, reflection, and respect for the audience we’ve already built on Roku and Amazon Fire TV , we made the decision to keep the name Black On Demand TV and move forward with the Black On Demand Mobile App . We’re sharing this lost episode ahead of our Juneteenth launch because it captures the real founder journey: the ideas, the pivots, the debates, and the mission behind creating a platform that our community can help grow, support, and own.

This is not just an episode about a name change. It’s about ownership, media, technology, and building something bigger than content. #BlackOnDemandTV #BuildBlackShow #BlackOwnedTech #BlackMedia #JuneteenthLaunch #BlackBusiness #CommunityOwnership #OwnEverything Support this podcast at — Advertising Inquiries: Privacy & Opt-Out:
