NEW YORK - A group of investors said Friday they want to start a television network aimed at the interests of an estimated eight million Muslims living in the United States.
The network, to be called Bridges TV, would begin in summer 2004.
Omar Amanat, founder of the Internet brokerage firm Tradescape Corp., leads the group. Bridges TV says it has $1 million and is seeking 10,000 Muslim-Americans to pledge $10 a month for the service to convince cable and satellite operators of a demand.
