Tyler Perry is doing it all. He has proven to be successful in the area of urban theatre, movies, and television. Now the media mogul is launching his own TV network.
In a recent appearance on Jay Leno, Tyler Perry talked about the vision behind Tylervision, which once was called Tyler TV:
“Everything I’ve done, every film, all the television shows, it’s about positivity, inspiration, and uplifting people and I wanted to start a network where you could turn it on for five minutes or five hours and be uplifted,” he said. “There’s so many things that are bringing us down, so that’s my whole purpose for it.”
Perry explained that he is in no way trying to compete with his good friend, Oprah Winfrey, saying programming for his channel will be different. He also said he doesn’t object to reality shows, depending on what reality show is being shown.
