Remember everyone is entitled to make money. Not saying its right but as you've pointed out its our responsibility as parents to monitor their content...television or otherwise.

I'm tired of seeing BET turn into the new MTV. It will also be great to see a channel that is not owned by VIACOM. I doubt it will do that well, but I wish P the best!

The fact is that BET needs to get better then the crap thats on there now. I don't even let my kids watch BET because of the negative light it shines on our people. Just about all the music videos demean our women and depict the brothers as thugs. I'm sorry but I grew up in the hood and it ain't nothing to glamerize. It's bad enough its laced in all the popular "hip-hop" music and no one making the music fells like they need to be a positive roll model. MF's like to say,"the streets is watchin". Naw fool our kids are watrchin and thats one of the main reasons why the problems in our neighborhoods keep repeating is self. It's time our kids seen a better example of black people in America and maybe P can help start a trend. Damn if the name is a jab at BET!!!!

I think its an obvious jab to BET before you even get past the title. Bad job. Good point…using the word “Better” implies that there is a worse.

My only complaint is why call it that? You come off as a challenge instead of just doing what you think is right. Already from jump you will be judged and may fail because of it. The big thing is original content (other than reality shows), if the network can produce original content in the comedy and drama realm, I'll be on board. TV One and BET both fail at doing that, that's what's needed a place for new and upcoming actors, directors, writers and producers to have a home to do thier thing.

The dude goes out and makes money and I respect that. People have been calling for a "more positive" black network for years and 1TV ( think thats what its called) tried to fill the void to little sucess. And its hard to beleive that when it comes down to getting those ratings BBTV wont fall into the same practices as BET. Another thing 1TV already isn't carried by most providers because they feel 1 black network (BET) is enough. Is there really room for three? I also Like P.
