lateral move IMO
Tyler Perry interested in purchasing Majority Stake in BET(VH1 too) Paramount is selling(Edit BET is no longer for sale)
- Thread starter humminbird
- Start date
Makes total sense now why BET+ is its own platform and not merged into Paramount.
Neo. The Only. The One.
THE ONE
I don't know if BET would be better or worse. And it's shameful that it could go either way.
Not looking forward to it
Tyler Perry’s work is awful
If this were Spike Lee or even Ryan Coogler or Ava Duvernay i’d be STOKED

He knows his audience very well. Like somebody else told me in that thread of him being the third highest earning entertainer of last year, he's still writing everything he produces.
I think buying this would give him more leverage and opportunities to give to new/rising/overlooked black directors/writers/actors like he's kinda been doing on the actor side.
While I don't fukk with the Madea shyt at all - I completely understand the target audience (my grandma/aunt and their friends, occasionally my mom or uncle) But mainly religious, black women and he's admitted to knowing his audience, and pandering to them.
Which I'm not entirely mad at. It's an underserved market, as he's proven and he does it pretty well. His content outside of their ranges from good to what the absolute fukk, but he's definitely talented and lowkey the best option for this network since, hate him all you want for crossdressing, he has NEVER changed his content up to be more palatable for white people
Let my grandma and her circle eat
He's almost far more likely to bring back 106&Park/Rap City/etc. He's not dumb
He's too cheap to do that as he'd literally replace those host with no names just to save money.He knows his audience very well. Like somebody else told me in that thread of him being the third highest earning entertainer of last year, he's still writing everything he produces.
