Before former Republican Congressman JC Watts launches his all-black news network sometime next year, he's surely going to try to poach the black anchors, correspondents, and guest commentators, the number of which has multiplied since the election started, from his "mainstream" competition. Below, check out some of the people who might be getting sweet offers from Watts & Co. in the new year. But will they take them?

I'm looking forward to this channel. We're in need of our news from our perspective.

Hopefully, Amy Holmes wouldn't come aboard. She's not bright and has the nerve to be smug.

Juan Williams is cool until he makes Hip Hop the culprit for what's wrong with the Black community.

I'm a fan of Roland Martin, Keli Goff, Donna Brazile, and Suzanne Malveaux.

I'm not familiar with Christina Brown. Is she any good?

I smell a mini-Rupert Murdoch, without the riches of course.

Looking forward to it… but PLEASE leave Amy Holmes at CNN. I just can't jive with her, for real.

Keli Goff is very pretty and that is all I can say about her as I have never seen her before.

My God, that is an awful pic of Harold Ford.
Harold Ford and Obama ran for Senate during the same time. I wonder if Ford is envious or jealous of Obama's sussucess.

I hope Amy Holmes doesn't do it. Maybe Soledad O'Brien can join.

Well folks unless you live in a city with a very large, disproportionately large, Black population you may not be seeing this new channel.

From what I've heard they, cable operators, are only going to make this channel available in cities like Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Detroit and one or two more cities.

You can get BET pretty much anywhere but a Black news channel, nope.

I guess it's not coming to Austin. I'll have to stick to the net then.

These people aren't going anywhere. The money at CNN and MSNBC is probably much better than the money offered by a fledgling network.

There's a woman on CNN during the day who does financial stuff. Young, always has stilettos on and is very pretty. Oh…yea…she's hella smart, too. LOL. He should def hire her. Just So I can look at her feet if for no other reason.

And I love my creole girl Suzanne Malveaux.
