Robert John Brillante (born February 27, 1959[citation needed]) is a cable television manager and executive. A former partner in the now defunct Florida’s News Channel,[1] he was the chief executive officer of the defunct Black News Channel.[2]
Florida's News Channel used virtual reality news environments with customized local scenery in each of Florida’s seven major television markets.[3] FNC was forced off the air when Comcast canceled all broadcasts "due to lack of viewer interest."[4]
In 2003, Brillante announced plans to start the Black Television News Channel.[5] Despite a pilot newscast begun in 2003, the network never went on the air.[6][7]
Brillante is married to Dana Brillante. The couple currently resides in North Florida, maintaining a home in Tallahassee and on St. George Island.[8]
