..esp about the children's programming. There are some good shows on now (ie Li'l Bill) that would make excellent additions to BET; I am also sure that with all the talent out there, some good original programming could be developed.
In addition, I think that BET could use their customer base to negotiate with advertisers to show positive, realistic and balanced commercials. Coupled with contributions to Black causes and programs that benefit the Black community, the color shows GREEN to corporate America. This could persuade corporate America to be more responsive to the needs of our community.
The network could also showcase positive Black movies (well, maybe for their movie channel) as well as reviews of many mainstream movies from our cultural/ethnic perspective.
If they were to implement all of our suggestions, I would need to
recommend a name change because it would be about more than just 'entertainment'. What about BBN - Black Broadcasting Network or BTN - Black Television Network?

I'd also try to make BET more appealing to the intelligent black family. Intelligent talk show during the morning, something like Iyanla. And, programming for black children from 2 - 6 pm.
There would also be an emphasis on black history and current events. Everything would relay important news and give the possible effects on the black community.
Music would have a specific programming block at a time that adults could watch.
And, motivational programs as well.
Quality original series are also a must. Good dramas and funny sitcoms that portray black people in a postive light.
There is so much that I could do with BET.
