One-paragraph boilerplate
TIVI Network is the streaming home for Black, urban, and diaspora storytelling, operated by Brooklyn-based Mann Robinson Studios LLC. Founded in 2023, TIVI owns its full technology stack (web, mobile, Connected TV apps) and distributes both original series and licensed films on subscription and ad-supported tiers. Signature features include a 24/7 linear channel (TIVI 24), production-diary companion content for every Original ("Behind the Block"), and mood-tag browsing that lets viewers find shows by feeling rather than genre.
