Actor/Filmmaker Tyler Perry Is In Talks To Buy BET & VH1; Update : Diddy & Byron Allen Also In Talks

[King_Sage]

What makes money on them....Love and Hiphop?

he has shows on BET already..

this would be like him owning his own grown content & a medium to sell it on...

since I've been watching BMF, he'd be the source, connect, distribution, and corner boy in terms of future ad dollars and app subscription dollars..

a new and improved Oprah - Own deal

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

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

He's a gay man.

 

[KingsOfKings]

Can be dope or a complete disaster

BET should've never been in a white company's hands to begin with. Those like me who grew up in the 80s and 90s saw how it shifted when it was sold. They didn't make it better whatsoever. Now it's just like a whore on the street coming back home all blown out and loose.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

@jeh Thanks, Breh!

 

[Trav]

That would be good for him and big ups if he could actually get a piece but woo, the amt of self written shows that nicca would pump out in addition to what he already does

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

I thought he already owned it as much as they play his movies and shows

 

[Panther]

I wish him well

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I’m so happy for him. This is some heavy legacy building

 

[Ku$h Parker]

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.

Donnie Simpson,Baechel & Joe Cleezy aint walkin thru them Doors dawg

 

[Ku$h Parker]

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.

I do miss Pop Up Videos tho

 

[King Sun]

Its already Tyler Perry TV

 

[Left.A1]

Haven’t watched either in years …

 

[Rollie Forbes]

Donnie Simpson,Baechel & Joe Cleezy aint walkin thru them Doors dawg

"Tyler Perry caught in sex tape scandal involving a pool boy and thirteen monkeys"

We're going to have to say goodbye to Tyler, guys. It's over.
