BFC is expected to cease as a 24-hour channel, effectively ending its run as a linear cable channel as of April 30.
Co-owned by super-lawyer Willie Gary, former baseball star Cecil Fielder, entertainer Marlon Jackson, cable veteran Alvin James and former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield, the Atlanta-based cable company offered family-friendly programming, overseen by actor/producer Robert Townsend.
