Comanche Nation Entertainment Partners with
First Nations Experience TV
Bringing Indigenous Storytelling to Hotel Guests
DEVOL, Okla. — Comanche Nation Entertainment has announced a groundbreaking partnership with First Nations Experience (FNX), the only national broadcast network devoted to Native American and World Indigenous programming. Through this collaboration, the FNX App will be preinstalled on all in-room Smart TVs at Comanche Red River Hotel Casino, giving guests convenient access to a rich library of Indigenous stories, cultures and perspectives.
The partnership began at the Indian Gaming Association conference in San Diego, where FNX representatives introduced their broadcast channel and streaming app to tribal enterprises nationwide. During the event, discussions between FNX and Comanche Nation Entertainment representatives led to a shared vision of expanding Native representation through accessible media.
“Our new partnership with the Comanche Red River Hotel Casino is a pivotal moment for us that represents a first-of-its-kind agreement with a tribally owned and operated facility,” said Frank Blanquet, Producer and Director at FNX. “We’re humbled and grateful for the Comanche Tribe’s trust in establishing this inaugural alliance.”
Guests at Comanche Red River Hotel Casino will soon find the FNX App directly on their in-room TVs, allowing them to stream programs that celebrate Indigenous communities, from documentaries and cultural features to contemporary entertainment.
“Comanche Nation Entertainment is proud to provide our guests with programming that honors Native heritage and storytelling,” said Julius Kazen, Director of Non-Gaming at Comanche Nation Entertainment. “This partnership reflects our continued effort to uplift Indigenous voices and share authentic cultural experiences.”
FNX, headquartered in San Bernardino, California, delivers content produced by and for Native and Indigenous peoples. The network’s programming includes documentaries, arts and culture features, children’s shows and educational series that reflect the diversity and vitality of Indigenous nations across North America.
“FNX Television works hard to earn the trust of Indian Country through a commitment to authentic and accurate Native and Indigenous storytelling,” said Blanquet.
This collaboration marks the beginning of broader opportunities for FNX to partner with other tribal nations, further expanding Indigenous representation in hospitality and entertainment spaces.
