  • Bridges TV was a Muslim television network headquartered in Buffalo, New York. It started on the right path, but veered off course in early 2006 and no longer became a Muslim TV network. Premiering nationally in November 2004, it was the first American Muslim television network to broadcast in the English language. Designed to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims, the network has received attention from publications and media venues such as Variety, NBC News, the Voice of America, Columbus Dispatch, Detroit Free Press, San Jose Mercury News, Rochester Democrat & Chronicle and Canadian Press. World heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, a subscriber and spokesperson for the network, said "Bridges TV gives American Muslims a voice of their own on the airwaves for Americans of all races and religions to hear. " Network official expressed the opinion that a channel like Bridges TV was long overdue and market research sponsored by the network revealed American Muslims' willingness to pay as much as $10 per month above and beyond their current cable television or satellite television fee for the channel.
