New Streaming Service Features Exclusively Blackface Episodes Pulled By Other Streamers

SANTA MONICA, CA—Backed by nearly $50 million from investors, a new streaming service launched Wednesday that exclusively features television episodes that have been removed from other platforms because a character appears in blackface. “We are proud to introduce Minstrl, the premiere destination for modern blackface entertainment,” said CEO William Hansson, who boasted that the platform carried everything from sitcom classics like Scrubs and The Golden Girls to international programs such as Little Britain and The Mighty Boosh. “We know you 30 Rock fans are dying to find out what happened in season five, episode 10. And now, for just $4.99 a month, you can. If that sounds cheap, it’s because it is. We got an incredible deal on the streaming rights. Sign up for a free trial today, and see why Minstrl is everybody’s favorite new guilty pleasure!” At press time, Minstrl had reportedly been acquired by Disney.
