The commercials were the most memorable. They would air on other channels, but became known for airing on BET.

Especially if I'm already rich myself.
Bob Johnson was already worth like 100s of millions of dollars when he sold BET.
Why bother having a news channel when you can go to YouTube or a million web pages.
Why both having a celebrity culture channel when you can go to YouTube or a million web pages.
There's literally everything on YouTube.
Like, that's always been a piss poor excuse.
Plus, BET/MTV/VH1 didn't just play music anyway.
They were about "music culture", the fashion, the interviews with artists, introducing you to new artists, and of course the VJs
I'd like to support these, but most of these are run by puppets for liberal White supremacists like The Root, who want to force their PC anti-straight Black male agenda on the Black community at large.
Dang that gospel commercial use to be the stuff. My late grandmother us to love that commercial. She would sing all those songs during the comme

"The actual founding of BET took place in 35 minutes. Johnson brought his idea to Malone and asked for $500,000 in funding to start BET—a sum of money so large that it would have been incomprehensible to him just a few years before. “I’m from the small town of Freeport, Ill., and there are 30,000 people in town, 10 percent African American, so 3,000 African Americans,” Johnson said. “500,000 would be equal to the total GDP of every black person in town. So I’m about to ask for more money than anybody in the entire town has seen in their lives.” Malone put down $180,000 in equity and a $320,000 loan, establishing himself as a 20 percent owner, with Johnson owning the other 80 percent. “What Malone didn’t know at the time was that if he had reversed the numbers and said, ‘I’ll be 80 and you’ll be 20,’ I would have said, ‘John, that’s a deal,’” Johnson joked. Having never run a company before, Johnson asked Malone for advice. Malone told him to work to increase revenues while keeping costs low—advice Johnson jokingly called “his MBA.” Malone’s faith in him and initial investment would stay with Johnson. He cited Malone’s backing of BET as a source of credibility for the young company that endured beyond its startup phase. “When I went out to borrow money for BET, or when I went out to get cable operators to carry us, the first thing the guy who’s a banker asks is, ‘Who else is in the deal?’” Johnson said. “Mainly because I was black… but you don’t get $500,000 to grow on trees.” Johnson, however, was able to say that Malone was “in the deal.” While Johnson eventually paid back the initial $320,000 loan, Malone never sold his initial BET shares and when Viacom bought the company in 2003, he made a return of $700 million on his $180,000 equity investment. Malone made a profit, but ownership of BET made Johnson the first black billionaire. “I fundamentally believe that if there were more John Malones in this society, there would be more Bob Johnsons,” Johnson said."
