Positioned as a FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) and AVOD (Advertising-Based Video on Demand) platform, OG Network is now available in 186 countries, with access across Roku, Apple TV, iOS, Android TV, Google Play, and Fire TV. The platform delivers a curated mix of classic films, contemporary titles, documentaries, unscripted series, and exclusive originals that reflect the depth, influence, and global reach of urban storytelling.

A Platform Rooted in Ownership and Cultural Control

Founded by Big Court and co-founded by Ice-T, OG Network was built with a clear mission: to give creators more than exposure—to give them control. The platform prioritizes ownership, access, and long-term sustainability for independent voices that have historically been underserved by traditional media systems.

“We built this platform on the belief that independent creators deserve the power to tell their own stories,” said Big Court, Founder of OG Network. “The culture drives today’s most impactful content. With OG Network, the culture finally controls the narrative, the distribution, and the future.”

Original Programming Anchors the Global Rollout

OG Network launches with a strong slate of exclusive and original content, including:

  • Somebody Had To Say It — A weekly flagship series hosted by Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Big Court, featuring unfiltered hip-hop debate, cultural commentary, and candid conversations.
  • Put the Guns Down: A World Epidemic — A powerful documentary executive-produced and narrated by Ice-T, examining the global impact of gun violence.
  • My Cherie Amour — An exclusive independent thriller premiering only on OG Network.
  • Holdin’ Court Podcast — The celebrity-driven podcast hosted by Big Court, formerly on Revolt TV, now streaming exclusively on OG Network.

In addition to its originals, the platform features hundreds of titles, from rare classics to festival-ready independent films, reinforcing OG Network’s commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices.

A Global Home for Independent Creators

Beyond streaming, OG Network positions itself as a creative ecosystem—actively welcoming filmmakers and content creators seeking global distribution without sacrificing ownership. The platform offers an opportunity for independent projects to reach audiences worldwide while remaining rooted in authentic storytelling.

What’s Next

With global distribution already in place and a rapidly growing content library, OG Network enters the streaming space as a bold, culture-driven alternative—where creators, not corporations, shape the future.
