INDIANAPOLIS: DuJuan McCoy, owner and CEO of Circle City Broadcasting, plans to launch the Multicultural News Network (MNN), a "non-partisan national news network" dedicated to (including, but not limited to) the Black, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Native American, and LGBTQ voices and communities. Content will be delivered by those from each respective community. MNN will be based in Indianapolis in the same facility housing WISH and WNDY. Most notably, McCoy has partnered with Cox Media Group for resources, including stations, newsrooms, and news bureau resources. McCoy has ambitions of making MNN in Indianapolis into what CNN is now (or has been) in Atlanta. The new network is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2021.
