BET

Pros: Excellent cable network for Christian programming.
Cons: Other programming, especially music videos are lacking in quality

Because the quality of television has degraded significantly throughout the past few years, I find myself not watching as much as I did in the past. However, in the morning when I am trying to get everyone here in my home up and ready for school and...

Pros: Good music videos that don't get aired on MTV. "Hits from the street"
Cons: TOO many infomercials, repetition, and made for TV movies. Also lacks original shows

The purpose BET is a great idea. Many African-Americans felt as though they were limited by other stations that contained predominantly white programming. If movies or music was made to appeal to a black audience, what better way to reach them but...

Pros: They are FINALLY gonna clean this mess up...
Cons: Wouldn't want to hang around anything bad like B.E.T., especially if they're on parole

There is something wrong here.

According to a Newsweek article published in October of last year, a company that, according to DUN & BRADSTREET, netted $85 million dollars last year will paid comedians, who are predominantly Black...

Pros: at best, there is some thoughtful programming
Cons: at worst, it is blatantly racist, sexist, and just plain unwatchable

I have read some of the Epinions about Black Entertainment Television, and I get the distinct impression that some of you are holding back. Is this biting of the tongue based in fear (of repercussions, of being called a racist)? I am beginning to...

Pros: Lots of videos, easy to find new one's before MTV
Cons: Racist, same shows daily, copies MTV at times, and Sundays are all infomercials

I started to watch BET a few years ago. I saw the video “We Got It”, by 1 of my favorite groups Immature on there the one day at my grandma’s and watched Rap City at my dad’s since we didn’t have the channel on our cable at the time. I really enjoyed...

Pros: Black owned
Cons: Poor Programming, Too many videos

Ok, here it is someone who is black that will blast BET. I have watched BET since it's inception, twenty years ago and I am only 28. I practically grew up with the channel, through all the good times and bad times. However, over the years I have...

Pros: BET News, and Sometimes Teen Summit.....
Cons: Well, If there were more Black Stations, with Better Content, BET would be forced to Clean up their Cons...

I agree with many of the brothas and sistas that have Posted some Negative reviews about this channel.. even though I am watching it NOW as we speak. I'll admit, Many things could use improvement on this channel. However It's the ONLY game in town, as...

Pros: Programming geared towards someone other than the 18-35 white male viewer
Cons: Not enough positive programming

Black Entertainment Television was founded to give people of African-American descent something to watch on TV, due to the fact that the major networks all had programming that was geared toward Caucasian viewers (which is why I always am upset by people...

Pros: Constant Black people, Good rap, good programs
Cons: MoMo central, to many re-runs

Ahhh i know all my fellow americans out there are gonna love this epinion. I cant remember the last time there was a channel made for just us black people. They play rap music all day long, and constantly show comedy of stupid momos jumping around. But...

Pros: A couple of news programs and original chick flicks
Cons: Weekend programming -- too many infomercials

BET just celebrated it's 20th anniversary this year. Does that mean the network is all grown up now? BET's CEO, Robert Johnson, seems to think so. I don't agree.

Over the years the network has added some intelligent and entertaining sides to...

Pros: All blacks all the time
Cons: All blacks all the time

Now if a person is interested in learning the fine language of ebonics then this is the place to be. BET is keeping it real 24/7 for me and my dogs. They play the newest and hottest beats that be pumped in the ghetto and now are expanding in the...

Pros: good music, sometimes
Cons: sends the wrong message, no diversity

BET is a network that has irked me for some time now. I don't have a problem with a channel targeted for African American Viewers, with a focus on programming that would appeal to such viewers. At the same time, however, I don't really think that BET is...

Pros: plays some music videos sometimes
Cons: too much junk shows or commercial

Man, I watch Bet everyday and everytime when I turn on the TV and I would Hope that it's the time for those music videos, but no.... BET is always be playing those long ass commercials and those not funny jokes from all of those jokers.
Anyway,...

Pros: It's part of basic cable
Cons: It's no good

Growing up as a white male from Middle America, I never really encountered much of what would be called black culture. My mother never had good things to say about Negroes, but my dad explained to me that although they have different colored skin, they...

Pros: nothing but us blacks
Cons: hard to understand

Bout time us dogs got our own joint, na mean. No matter what time you turn on the bet channel you see blacks reprsenting mad hard core na mean. We gots mad rap videos and some dope comedy na mean. We dont have no wack shows like da news or anything...
