in a way this could work if they all focus on their lanes when it's time to produce
50 does the street type shows
Shaq could do black business style shows, documentaries and handle the sports side
Kenya could do the slice of the life sitcom shows
they would each get diverse segments to watch the channel
add a female creator in there too and you'd have something

50 is playing the long game. He never working with Starz again so it's his chance to put his work on BET. He'll get money that way and also on the BET end. Brah would bring BET back to life with his shows.

STARZ probably owns the Power Universe and BMF so I doubt 50 could bring those over. All these new shows yall want cost money which they won't have once they own BET because VIACOM will be gone. Its why Puff is failing with Revolt and why Oprah cashed out of OWN as soon as she could.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to start their own network? Unless all those old shows IP are worth it.

Shaq should have the comedy element on lock with his experience putting those live shows together back in the gap.

Based on the comments..its like black people only watch biracial hood drug trafficking genre...

I would love a story heavy show about a black artist in the art game/world. Or a show about a black scientist or a show about the 1st black hockey player in the NHL....but we wont get that will we? :wow:
Feel like we will get a teen doctor.

Instead of Friends...we get "Homies" or "Potnas."
