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

“BET is also unusual within Paramount’s portfolio in that some of its divisions have minority investors of their own. BET+, for example, counts Perry as an investor, while BET Studios counts Kenya Barris and Rashida Jones as stakeholders. Those deals would complicate any effort to merge BET+ or BET Studios into Paramount+ or one of the company’s other studios.”

Man, I’d love to be the transactions lawyer on this deal. All the redlining in the documents, conflict checks, choice of deal structures, reviewing hundreds of pages, and on and on. M&A is low key one of the best areas of law to practice.

Wish him the best. One of the few black people in this country with real wealth and power.

Tyler Perry is an evil evil person. His wealth and power mean nothing

 

[RennisDeynolds]

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.

Tyler Perry don't do shyt that isn't about that bag. If he is involved then he knows how to make it work

[Rev Leon Lonnie Love]

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

Tyler don't got bread like that.

BET WAS FIRE AND
AT ITS PEAK IN 2000...

ITS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORTH
AS MUCH NOW AND IS PURE TRASH
SO THEYRE CUTTING THEIR LOSES.

MTV USED TO BE A COOL CHANNEL TOO.
YOU THINK ITS WORTH MORE NOW
THAN IT WAS IN 2000?

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.

there is no point for rap city anymore. We used to watch it to look at the latest videos coming out. There is no point in Rap City when all of the videos coming out go straight to youtube.

 

[O.Red]

Looks like Paramount Plus is going the Tubi route

 

[Flav]

I’m still looking forward to an Uncle Joe movie. I think he is the funniest character in all of his movies.

Cable has declined rapidly including over 10% in the past year alone. Byron Allen bought the weather channel a couple years ago
