I am not at all surprised. If anyone recalls the thread that discussed Viacom purchasing BET, I knew then "BET will go in a new creative direction". That is, those white folks are about to tell us how to be black!!! And of course they would have to start with Tavis, since he is PRO-Black!!!!
I said it then and I say it again, just wait on how the programming changes. Viacom owns MTV and VH-1 (one other that I can't think of) and I think we will see a distinct parrellel of all the shows in the future. And if you don't like it, voice your complain, as I did. We should not sit around and accept it, as some sometime do.
You are encouraged to write, fax,call, and/or email the president of Viacom:
