In an era of on-demand streaming, a 24-hour live channel might seem like a throwback. But there is something that live television does that on-demand cannot replicate: it creates a shared experience.

When you turn on the DECTV channel, you are watching the same thing as thousands of other people at the same moment. That shared experience — the sense of being part of a community watching together — is something that a personal on-demand queue cannot provide.

For urban entertainment specifically, that communal dimension matters. Hip hop and R&B have always been social music — music made for and by communities. A 24-hour channel that keeps that music running is a way of keeping that community connected.

DECTV is always looking for new music videos, independent programming, and original content to add to the channel rotation. If you have content that belongs on DECTV, reach out at [email protected].
