No one was paying that inflated price so out the gate Paramount looked at their offers as lowball numbers.

Bottom line is that BET/VH1 aren’t worth 3 billion and both networks have destroyed their legacy IP over the last 20 years so it’s not like the stuff from the 90s could be looked at like this value selling point.

BET is still salvageable but they’d have kill it when it comes to original programming and flat out bring on better shows. They need an “Atlanta” and a “Luke Cage” type show out the gate and simply have to lock someone like Ava Duvernay into an exclusive deal.

Meanwhile, make VH1 the youth channel and show videos and exclusive singer/rapper content and don’t put any of it on social media. And if it gets uploaded, have it reported instantly and taken down.

So simple yet they pay muthafukkers $200k for hi-level analysis like this

Ava Durvernay is trash and overrated and it’d be just a waste of money. Besides, they don’t devote that type of money and resources to entities that aren’t CBS.

They’ve actually tried going the original programming route and people didn’t fukk with it. MTV did as well.

Tell me about it.

Breh I remember a couple of years ago my company paid a consulting firm to do these surveys to see what the workers thought about work culture, diversity, career trajectory, etc.

They easily spent 6 figures for that shyt and the “results” of the survey were BS and made it seem like things were cool and folks were mostly happy. They knew they paid for some rigged bullshyt

Just start a new one afresh..merily handing jews your money is so passe now. :scust:

'Entertainment' in this era is trash, no talent out there and degeneracy is all they know. Its a terrible investment right now.

We need a serious 24/7 Black news and Education network, covering the entire spectrum of global Black news from a Black perspective.
Look at the success fox and them have had with just (fake) news blaring round the clock.

Artist and labels will never agree to this.


But I like your thinking.

Black people don't have the salary base or education base to sustain such a network.


Only 25% percent of Black men have a bachelors degree

And Black folks make the least in terms of salary


That type of network would not be attractive to advertisers unless the Black middle class became way more robust.

another fact...they never had all the money. They were gonna just throw in their little corners and get funding (A loan) from a larger entity. It was always going to be janky on the business end.

If anything, they should try to bring back Bob Johnson. shyt is just too critical of an asset to waste this way.

:snoop: that's the last person who needs to be involved.
