The mogul known as Sean "Diddy" Combs has a portfolio that is a mile long. You can find everything from music and television producer to vodka pimping and restaurant owner on his resume. Now you can add minority owner of a cable network to that list.

After weeks of unconfirmed reports, Diddy took to his YouTube channel to officially announce his role as minority owner of the music-themed cable network known as Revolt TV. The network has initial plans to include social media in its influence of musical content rather than radio and Billboard charts and to give the artists the opportunity to show their videos raw and uncut. What it sounds like is Diddy plans to bring the internet and blog influence on music to televisions. As Diddy states in the YouTube clip “The revolution will be televised.”

"When I was growing up, I was watching television all the time — I used to wonder, 'Why don't those people look like me, or talk like me or walk like me?'” Diddy asks in the three-and-a-half minute clip. "I grew up watching BET and MTV and HBO and NBC, and I had a dream. I had a dream that one day I would get a chance, an opportunity to show my perspective coming from a musical standpoint.”

Diddy has also invited other cable providers from Direct TV to Time Warner to pick up the channel in the near future. For now, Comcast is the only provider onboard and the network has plans to launch at the end of 2012.

We're just wondering if this means that we'll see a Bad Boy takeover regularly on our televisions.

The death of Soul Train creator Don Cornelius rattled the very core of soul and R&B music during which should have been a festive time for the African-American community as Black History Month kicked off. Cornelius' pioneering television program Soul Train paved the way for a great deal of artists who have all achieved greater heights, owing a great debt to the platform provided. Yesterday, Cornelius' life and achievements were celebrated in Hollywood by family, friends and music stars alike at a star-studded memorial service.

An exclusive article from VIBE magazine's Tracy Ford offered outsiders a glimpse of the memorial service where some of the biggest names in music were in attendance. Smokey Robinson, Magic Johnson, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Stevie Wonder and George Duke all spoke lovingly of Cornelius. Don Jackson of Central City Productions read the obituary while Rev. Jackson read the eulogy. Pastor Donnie McClurkin presided over the memorial service, fresh from a trip to Nigeria.

“To this day, nothing like that exists,” said Jody Watley to VIBE at the service's conclusion. “He opened the door for new artists, and that may have been your only television exposure. The show opened so many doors. I remember looking at the cameramen, the women on the staff. He employed people of color. Going on other shows you saw how different it was.”

Cornelius' sons Tony and Robert were also in attendance and former's daughter, Christina, moved the attendees to tears with a loving message for Cornelius, referring to him simply as, “My grandpa. My smooth-voiced loving grandpa.”

Author Ericka Blount Danois is penning an upcoming book focusing on Don Cornelius' legacy in television. The title, Soul Train's Mighty Ride, Behind the Scenes of America's Favorite Dance Show, is slated for an August release.

Rest in peace to the great Don Cornelius.
