There is one more twist I gotta state on this proposed Viacom/BET buyout.

With everyone saying that BET if bought by Viacom may radically alter the purpose of the network, here's something to consider.

Last year or earlier this year, The Nashville Network was bought out by Time Warner and is now known as The NATIONAL Network. In the process, a lot of country music oriented shows left the daily lineup and has been replaced with more contemporary shows. Only one or two country music shows are still on the air.

My point is this: With everyone complaining about the "no-brain" programming presently airing on BET, this buyout may improve the programming, however be prepared to have the "blackness" of the channel diluted into mainstream culture to some effect (kinda like the cast of "In Living Color" in the final season after all the Wayans family bailed out).

So, from everyone's hemming and hawing about this, am I to assume that because there once was this network called BET, blacks in America will never again own and operate a cable and/or other network?

[AKA2D '91]

Well, why did there ONLY have to be BET?

Who came behind Mr. Johnson in the 80's, 90's, and now the 21st century to establish ANOTHER network?

There are many, many WEALTHY African-Americans or people of AFRICAN descent who could have and still can PULL THEIR RESOURCES TOGETHER to establish, build TV networks and other types of CORPORATIONS!

The question is...WHY HAVEN'T THEY?

That show sux. I wonder might Aaron McGruder address this in an upcoming Boondocks?

I am glad to know that I am not the only one that hates that show!!

[darling1]

You can add a third to the list. The show is an insult. But what can you expect from an insult of a network station???

SteelTrap, I second that emotion!!!!! (I just don't know how to do those special smilies.)
