Founded in 1978 by the visionary Charles "Chuck" Johnson, Soul Beat Network emerged as California's first African American television network dedicated to serving the vibrant African American community of Oakland, CA.

In the digital age, Soul Beat Network has been revitalized by Charles "Chuck" Johnson (no relation to the original founder) and is committed to recapturing the magic of its original format. Recognizing that today's viewers often prefer streaming services over traditional television, Soul Beat Network has adapted to meet contemporary demands while striving to return to television.
