VH1 and BET are dead, if I was shari I would sell them, they have no value anymore, especially now tht vh1 nor mtv are music focused.
I know they have to keep the share prices up, so the SEC wont force viacom and CBS to split.
I heard they were contemplating selling star trek to a group heading by Seth Marfarlene as well.

If they don't sell to Tyler for $2 then they're insane. He's basically been propping up their streaming service singlehandingly. Has a quick turnaround rate on shows with a diehard dedicated fanbase.

He could legitimately turn it around into at least something noteworthy again.

Might ss well make your own platform for the money
Expensive to do that, plus you have to build a brand.

Cheaper to buy a brand with loyalty already attached.

I would say he should look at partnering with Pluto tv or something like that.

if Tyler gets petty and pulls all of his shows and movies from BET and their streaming, they are going to be screwed.

It aint about how much it's worth it's about how much someone is willing to pay for it. She's gonna end up taking it eventually though. Tyler Perry getting $150 million a year just for his content alone.

If he does what network he gonna negotiate with to put it back up on? He'd just be shooting himself in the foot devaluing the company that he has a 25% stake in. He just needs to ride out the contract until next year I'm sure they'll come to him and accept the offer.

Damn. Can't say I disagree tho.

Ppl wish they had his power and access to do better than just the cliche black shows he puts out.
And these people would be who? Bob Johnson stated many moons ago, nobody is interested in black upliftment and he's right. Tyler Perry sin't overpaid, he's giving the audience what they want.

No. Black ppl are more than just the good/evil black church crowd but still ratchet shows TP puts out.

When something different comes out it's usually well received.
