Get better Black talent
Kick Tyler Perry to the curve
Highlight Black artist who haven't blew up yet
Cut down on the fukkery and bring it back to Tom Joyner days. I know he wasn't on BEY, but that was the golden age of Black respectability in comparison to today

3 steps)
1 )Immediately sign tiktok personalities on all the prime time slots.
2) Put washed up musicians from the 00s and 90s on TV series. Comedies and game shows most likely. They would be very cheap, easily recognizable talent.
3) I wouldn't start a streaming service, but I would attach myself to somebody else's service in an unrelated niche like discovery or nebula or Hallmark in hopes of peeling away some of their curious viewers.
4) convert to Judaism

They already have a streaming service. Are you getting rid of it? I think Tyler Perry owns a percentage of it though.4steps)

I would balance out the content. Add news shows with actual journalists not just commentators, maybe some cooking shows, a show that travels across America to black neighborhoods stuff like that. Hard to think any of it would be possible though because there isn't much money in it so they are beholden to their parent network.

Make it a channel where black writers can get they ideas off, make a news block, have a animation block, like @CopiousX said game shows and comedies and reality shows with former black entertainers, add a food and travel block, try to get all the black classics on there if they Jews don’t own that shyt already
My vision would be make it an all around channel where everybody tunes in

Replace Tyler Perry shows with Thea reruns
They are crazy costly to maintain and scale.
Far cheaper to piggy back on someone else's effort while only adding my already existing content.
The goal is to steal viewers, not create new ones. It's like how a Japanese restaurant opens and Chinese restaurant opens across the street a month later. This is followed by a Thai restaurant opens right next to it, and a Nepalese restaurant opens next to it, which prompts an Indian to open next door. And all of a sudden a new district is created of folks eating off each other .
Operating your own service is like taking the risk of starting a single restaurant all on its own that would have to earn customers through merit. That's difficult for a firm like bet

You want me to make it respectable or make it profitable?
If i want to make it profitable it's going to be part Issa Rae, part Zeus network/RHOA types and part music/podcast creatives
Except for Issa all that stuff is cheap cost, cheap production, and easily recyclable/replaceable talent. Issa and her creatives would make the Sunday Night premier block, the Zeus network types would be strengthen the Thurs- Sat evening blocks.
All other premium times are covered with sports, music, and YT type podcast creatives.
Wouldn't cost much and would bring alot of eyeballs if content was exclusive through the network and stream app.
