[Rollie Forbes]

I hope Tyler Perry can make it happen. I'd start watching those channels again!

If Tyler Perry does purchase BET, I want him to bring back Video Soul, Teen Summit, all the Malaco Records commercials, and maybe Rap City.

Viacom bought it for 2.3 billi in 2000...who knows the price now.

Tyler don't got bread like that.

When they expose Tyler for being gay cause he trying to buy bet

The “bout the buy such and such” was always stupid to me. Could always just say no to the person who trying to buy it lol

You do understand that acquisitions at this level aren't cash, right?

 

[Knucklehead]

Probably not worth that now.....

Definitely not worth even close to that.
Carriage fees for networks are cratering.

I read that BET+ was basically launched by and for Tyler Perry with Paramount help. His deal with them is coming to an end. This the next step.

 

[Real]

I like it

Hilarious in the late 80s, early 90s I remember VH-1 proudly announcing that you wouldn't hear any "rap" on their channel. How times have changed.




Cable television is a graveyard outside of sports anyway.

 

[Mac Ten]

Tyler Perry better not try to have his shows take up the whole network...


It would be nice for BET to dig into those vaults. Throwback Thursday where they air a old movie or show that they haven't shown in 20 years(Teen Summit, Rap City, Top 25 countdown, Bebe's Kids, etc). Keep New York Undercover on Fridays, Weekend Movies, and a Tyler Perry Monday.

Ever since he made a show about a gay sex cult I was done.

I've never heard Tyler in any debacles... he's Teflon like Jay-Z is.

Tyler wouldn't offend the wrong person like Bill Cosby.

 

[King Poetic]

If he do buy it

Hopefully he get rid of love and hip hop and basketball wives c00n shyt

Coli posters are forgetting how notoriously cheap Tyler Perry is if you think he's going to put any real money into the service if he buys it.
