Dennis A. Miller

Venture Partner

“
I got a cold call from Dennis who said he wanted to talk about building a 24/7 network focused on African-Americans and had heard I had the same plan. The call quickly turned into a very valuable partnership and the network TVOne. When others said it could not be done, Dennis was relentless and unafraid of pushing forward. TVOne now reaches more than 47 million households worldwide and I attribute a significant amount of our success to the commitment Dennis made to working with us to see this channel launched. Today we enjoy an important and productive friendship.
