MANASSAS, Va. - s4story -- Burst created the first-ever TV channel focused on inclusion called the Burst Network. All the shows on the news and lifestyle channel will star, focus, and amplify marginalized voices. The vision of the company Burst comes from Bryant McBride, the co-founder and CEO. McBride is the first black class president of West Point and the first black executive of the NHL. Michael VanZetta, a broadcast veteran diagnosed with bipolar disorder and learning disabilities, created the channel and created and curated all of the shows. Burst Network will debut this week on AiryTV and soon on VUit, Select TV, TikiLive.com, and hopefully more in the future. In addition, the channel will work with content creators to get their voices heard.
