"The merit of the individuals honored along with the positive impact NAN has in society deserves the wider exposure television brings and TV One promises a star-studded evening of great performances and luminaries and even some laughs."

"I can't think of a better broadcast partner than TV One for the first televised airing of the Triumph Awards," remarked Rev. Al Sharpton. "The network's track record in delivering quality programming that entertains and illuminates as well as reflects the principles NAN and the Triumph Awards celebrate is second to none and we are excited about this next step in our Triumph Award movement."
