New York, NY (PRWEB) August 4, 2008 -- Interactive One, LLC the digital connection for Black America and the new digital division of Radio One, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROIAK and ROIA), the largest African-American multimedia company, launches three new content-driven websites: NewsOne, TheUrbanDaily and HelloBeautiful. The three sites will join BlackPlanet, the premiere social networking site for African-Americans, acquired by Radio One earlier this year, making it the largest online media entity for African-Americans reaching more than 6 million unique visitors monthly. This announcement comes just a few weeks after Radio One announced the results of its "Black American Survey," the largest ever national survey of African-Americans. The survey showed that nearly 68% of African-Americans are now online compared with 71% of all Americans, proving that the digital divide is now closed. The study also shows that more than 16 million African-Americans are currently using broadband, a number that is projected to grow by 31% to 21 million by 2009.
"Interactive One is the largest and most comprehensive digital network for African-Americans," said Smokey D. Fontaine, Chief Content Officer, Interactive One. "Our family of targeted content sites and our social network enables users to find original and intelligent content tailored to African-American's interests and needs and to engage in conversation with the Black community online."
