Rainman, you see my point. I was aware that UPN is a subsidary of Viacom, thus proving my point to somewhat of a degree of certainity. I am just saying that BET was basically the first, a trendsetter in Black based entertainment that most of us could identify with and I hate to see it begin to lose its momentum (sp?) after all these years. I hate to stay it, but, if Johnson sells, he is going to be selling more than his shares. I give BET 5-10 years before the name changes to something that includes more than blacks or the entire network will completely disappear. This is because we will definitely no longer be able to identify or it will be to ridiculous (sp?) to watch!
Discogoddess, I guess we better start with that new show that reflects the positive side of Blacks. BUT, who will put up the money, will the idea sell? And if so, then how long will it last? I don't think very long, for some strange reason, we do not support the positive enough to last, but run, even break our backs, necks, and will spend our last dollars to see the negative!
OOH LA LA!
