A TIVI NETWORK PRESENTATION

Made BY,
not made FOR.

TIVI Network is the streaming home for Black, urban, and diaspora storytelling. Prestige craft. Block-level voice. Built and owned in Brooklyn.

The thesis.

For two decades, the streaming pitch to Black audiences has been "we have a section for you." A side door. A category. A vertical to launch and quietly shut down two years later. TIVI doesn't have a section because the whole house is ours. Every original ordered, every film acquired, every collection curated — it's the front door of the building, not a wing.

We compete head-to-head with Tubi (one of our published collections is literally called "Not On Tubi"), and we aspire to the production craft of Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO. We don't apologize for either ambition.

Four pillars nobody else has.

PILLAR 1

TIVI 24

A 24/7 always-on linear channel. Originals premiere live at 9 PM ET. No other premium streamer has this — they all bet on-demand only and left appointment viewing to cable.

PILLAR 2

Behind the Block

First-class production diary for every TIVI Original. Not bonus content buried three menus deep — companion episodes ranked alongside the show.

PILLAR 3

Mood browsing

"Cried in my car." "Block party energy." "Watch with mama." We let you find a show the way you actually feel, not by what category the licensor checked.

PILLAR 4

The Block

A positioning that lets us own the corner store, the stoop, the cookout, the brownstone as native subject matter — not "diverse content," not "urban programming."

"We didn't build TIVI to be the Black Netflix. We built it because that idea was always insulting. We built it to be TIVI."

— MANN ROBINSON, FOUNDER

The company.

Mann Robinson Studios LLC is a Brooklyn-based production and distribution company. We own the studio, the catalog, the platform, the technology stack, and the brand outright. No outside platform partner, no white-label deal, no third-party CMS. Every show on TIVI was either produced by us or licensed under terms we control.

Founded 2023. Self-funded. Profitable on per-original basis since 2024. Targeting acquisition runway 2028.

Leadership.
