If you’re a fan of real, raw, and unfiltered reality TV, you need to check out Now That’s TV. This newly independent, top-rated, and black-owned network is quickly becoming the destination for anyone who loves authentic and relatable programming, and with good reason.
Founded by Teleau Belton, a creative mastermind with experience in artist management, photography, and videography, Now That’s TV was started to give new content creators a platform to create and thrive. And let’s just say—it’s working. In just one year, Now That’s TV has gained over 100K subscribers and 80K Instagram followers, making it a 6-figure network.
Its roster of shows is stacked with must-see programming and has a lot to do with the platform’s success. With shows like “Barbie Wants Both,” “South Central Baddies Season 3,” “Zodiac House Season 1,” “Big Lex Baddies Collection,” and “Déjà Vu Reunions,” trust us when we say you’ll be glued to your screen. And if you’re a hardcore fan of reality TV, you’ll definitely recognize some familiar faces like Sidney Star and ChriseanRock. Most importantly, Now That’s TV is all about authentic, raw storytelling—no fake drama here. Plus, with new shows and content being added all the time, there’s always something new to watch.
Few brands can hack it and succeed in today’s entertainment space as fast as Now That’s TV has done. But then, Belton isn’t your average entertainer. The South Carolina native started off as the founder of Conceited Magazine, sponsored by rapper 50 Cent. After successfully learning the industry, he branched out into artist management, photography, and videography. Belton started thinking about building his brand while working as the manager for rapper and reality star Big Lex, a former cast member from “Joseline’s Cabaret Atlanta” and the new show “Big Lex Baddies Collection Season 1.”
However, this dream was bigger than Belton as an individual. His mission is to empower independent content creators and filmmakers by providing a platform they can start and thrive on as they pursue their creative goals. And with how the platform’s going, it’s clear Belton is succeeding. Besides the number of followers on different socials, Now That’s TV has also attracted many admirers, haters, and copycats alike. It’s said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but still, this is a big problem.
“We have a lot of haters that come for us and our network daily,” Belton explains. “Ever since we launched the network, there have been so many copycats or other creators trying to duplicate our network. It’s challenging for all networks just starting off because now you have to learn the business.”
Despite their best attempts to bring the brand down, Now That’s TV continues to thrive and stand out from the sea of imitators. With Belton’s creativity and vision, and the creators’ raw talent, the brand is well-equipped to keep thriving in the coming years. With new creators joining the platform as it scales, Now That’s TV is bringing back the genuine nature of reality TV, and this is just the beginning.
From a bevy of beloved shows to new creators harnessing their talent on the network, Now That’s TV is ready to revolutionize entertainment. So if you’re tired of the same old scripted reality shows, give Now That’s TV a try. We promise you won’t be disappointed.
