Remember what the old BET use to look like?

[bnew]

I really think someone can start a network online with the same feel and be very successful.

a coalition of black investment groups should but they won't

 

[Booker T Garvey]

They sold out to some cacs. Was a wrap ever since.

What kills me is that they bought it, and just did away with all this as though there was something wrong with it

 

[Booker T Garvey]

This is the one i remember

It's amazing how these channels are these days. It's Saturday and there isn't one music video show on any of the major channels(MTV, BET, VH1, MTV2 even for fukks sake). A solid 85 percent of their programming is either reality shows, Ridiculousness, or old TV shows. Not everyone has BET Jams and it isn't the same because they just show music videos, I don't even know if they have any VJs anymore.

How does it look now?


The only version I know is the old version.

Pretty sad to see. Rap City...gone. Unplugged...gone. 106 & Park....gone. TRL.....gone.

Notice how every OG Viacom network has fallen off to some extent?

I woke up at a random time and I saw a TRL episode on one Saturday (recently). I think it's back.

I remember when they use to play hbcu football gsmes. Its time for a new black channel. The cacs who run it now are too profit driven to put out good content.

Why bother having a channel dedicated to music videos when you can go to YouTube.

 

[dtownreppin214]

It' completely unrecognizable now

They sold out to some cacs. Was a wrap ever since.

Those cacs also ruined the logo. Turned it into some soft feminine color and font from the old black star power logo.

You can go to YouTube for almost anything though. I'm not saying that they should be all music videos all the time but at least two shows a day, or even a week. Beats another syndicated run of Baby Boy.
