*Ice-T and media executive Courtney “Big Court” Richardson II have officially launched OG Network, a new FAST and AVOD streaming platform designed to elevate urban culture and independent storytelling. The platform debuted with strong momentum, quickly surpassing 2.3 million viewing minutes during its early rollout phase, per the news release.
OG Network was founded by Big Court, who is also known as the host of the “Holdin’ Court Podcast” on Revolt TV, and co-founded by Grammy Award-winning artist and actor Ice-T. Built as a creator-focused destination, the service aims to deliver premium programming while allowing storytellers to retain ownership and control of their work.
Currently available in 186 countries, OG Network can be accessed on Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, iOS, and Google Play. The platform positions itself as a global hub for independent films, documentaries, podcasts, and original series rooted in culturally driven narratives.
“The culture drives the most influential content in the world, and with OG Network, the culture finally controls the narrative, the distribution, and the future,” said Big Court. “We built this platform on the belief that independent creators deserve ownership and control over their work.”

At launch, OG Network introduced a slate of original and exclusive programming that reflects its mission. This includes “Somebody Had To Say It,” a weekly series hosted by Layzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony alongside Big Court, offering candid conversations and hip-hop commentary.
The platform also premiered “Put The Guns Down – A World Epidemic,” a documentary executive-produced and narrated by Ice-T that examines gun violence through a global and culturally grounded perspective. Another exclusive release, “My Cherie Amour,” stars Omar Gooding and has generated record engagement for the network.
In addition, the “Holdin’ Court Podcast” has moved exclusively to OG Network, featuring in-depth interviews with entertainers, cultural figures, and changemakers. Together, these titles anchor a growing library of hundreds of films and series, with new acquisitions and original projects scheduled throughout the year.
OG Network continues to invite independent filmmakers and creators to participate in its creator-first ecosystem, offering opportunities for global distribution, revenue participation, and long-term ownership as the platform expands. For additional information, visit www.theognetwork.net.
