Colibrehs if you were made the President and CEO of BET how would you fix the network?

[Geek Nasty]

I'd run it like an old school big three network where you can turn it on and leave it on one channel all day. primetime lineup of your own content, Kids hours, news hours, Sunday AM in depth political coverage (even if you have to simulcast streamer content), weekend movies, use sindicated old cheap shows to fll in the gaps. Bush all the degeneracy (glorifying criminal life and reality TV fukkery)

There's a lot of household name black talent you can get for cheap.

Cable TV outside of live sports is



Only sort of hope to make the the actual BET channel poppin' again is to bring a bunch of HBO quality shows to the Network.... and even HBO has a streaming service. Does anybody here actually watch the actual HBO channel? The various shows that HBO has are very popular but I doubt the average person is watching their shows on the HBO channel itself. HBO shows have been the most popular shows on TV for people under 50 for years now, some random CBS show might technically get higher ratings but HBO shows get more social media discussion.



Also Starz surpassed BET as the go to Network for Black shows. Starz shows its shows commercial free while if a elite drama was to air on BET you would have sit though commercials

 

[KING WILL]

Interesting question.

I dont think TV is the best direction.


I'd look into branching things off into a music label.

 

[concise]

Ain't no fixing no BET VH1 OR MTV. Unless you got some live sports to broadcast its a wrap.

Yea, all these channels are dead concepts.

BET and Pawging don’t belong in the same sentence …

remember PAWG'in includes BAWGa too

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Bring back Rap City
Bring back Teen Summit
Bring back Comedy Central

Bring Boodocks over to BET

Start a bunch of black sitcoms in vein of Cosby, Martin, Family Matters with some old and young comedians

Try to bring In Living Color or something the Wayans can do for like a SN

Have a black hosted night talk show

 

[havoc]

I will start with moving the classic reruns to the stream platform.
Cancel all Tyler Perry shows
Cancel BET HIP HOP awards
Hire new black writers and form partnership with business like BLACK SAND to create action, animated, and fantasy films
BET expand viewership to African and the Caribbean nations
Invest a portion of the company's profit into black owned STEM businesses and donate funds to HBCU schools
Bring back BET COMEDY and promote and scheduled LIVE CONCERTS on air
Format the BET AWARD show into a prestigious global award show. It will be a sophisticated event like the Oscar awards.
Create a new subdivision specifically for news on politics, investments, social events and education. I'll probably hire the dudes from EARN YOUR LEISURE to manage the new platform.
Hire REGINA KING and Issa Rae to develop TV series

 

[The Fade]

Big Jahh, Lou Ratchet, RDC, AMP, Ace Vane, Rap City, 106 And Park, Boondocks, Jordan Peele, Nilesyniles, Druski and Desi Banks , Pop the Balloon, and then some Tubi flicks for the fun of it. Give them all adequate funding and see what’s up

 

[Money Be Green]

 

[Ironman]

Recruit social media black people who do skits on tubi and bring them. Tapping into the WNBA is a good idea as well. Hiring black animators to emulate like the Fox/ /WB type of shows and tap more into the anime market. More fashion shows regarding Cosplay, hair styles, working out. Things like that.

If you want ratings and profit then just collect all the stupid shyt online and repackage it.

If you want respectfully good content that represents black people in a positive light you pretty much have to rebrand the whole channel and even rename it.

 

[Dipsey Doo]

No one cares about traditional television anymore, but everyone watches YouTube. I’d go to where the people are at and are watching.

Offer Tariq, Fresh and Fit, Anton Daniels, Tommy Sotomayor and Pink Book Lessons their own respective creative outlet to do whatever their heart desires.

Sit back and then watch the fukkery unfold.

 

[Mac Ten]

College Hill can definitely work nowadays…


Put that ish on the Zeus network or better yet and hire the writers of L&HH for the show.


College Hill along with Flavor Of Love and Real Chance Of Love and I Love New York gave L&HH a lane to run with

 

[King Poetic]

In 2025 since our people are more focused on individualism, being boss bytches and CEOS

Ill give them what they want in ignorance like a love and hip hop, gang tv shows and movies, single mother shows where a woman with 4 kids with 4 different daddies find that NFL/NBA PLAYER who is willing to take her and her kids in and live happily ever after

Let all that money flow in and my pockets grow, because positivity don’t make money among us, so i will used the dumb motherfukkers in the community for money and used that for a gateway for a bigger plan

i would take some money and buy a black neighborhood properties and rebuild a few streets and homes for stable black families no welfare/no section 8 and put a plan together to build a small black owned business plaza where black entrepreneurs who have small businesses can set up shop..

Hire top security to keep the thieves and the low destructive ones out the community
