Revolt is an American music-oriented digital cable television network and media company targeting African Americans that was founded by Sean "Puffy" Combs and Andy Schuon. The TV network launched on October 21, 2013, as part of a larger agreement with Comcast. As of 2024, Detavio Samuels serves as CEO, while the company's employees are the majority shareholding group.[1]

Revolt's cable network is primarily dedicated to hip hop and urban contemporary music genres, with music video blocks comprising the majority of the network's schedule. The network's non-music programming covers Afro-American & hip hop culture, as well as social justice issues.[2][3]

As of July 2021, Revolt's cable network was available in 50 million U.S. households.[4]
