    I had no big problems with BET under Bob Johnson. Looking back on it now BET had a good mix of programming under Bob Johnson. They had entertainment,news and political shows. Today all I see on BET under Viacom are movies,sitcom reruns,106 & Park and Wendy Williams. The mistake Bob made was BET Uncut. That's the show that brought the station the most criticism. Uncut wasn't a good fit for BET. MTV or VH1 would have been better stations for a show like that.

      Ok you could say he "sold out". I just wished that he could have sold it to another rich black person. BET needs to be black owned. White owners aren't going to have the same outlook as black owners. With BET under Johnson we had an independent black owned media outlet. We lost that after Johnson sold it.

      CrowdPleeza So true under the Bob Johnson era. I remember they would play a wide variety of conscious hip hop then after viacom they blacklisted all conscious rap. You started hearing the stripper, popping bottles, at the club stuff with no conscious or high vibrational music to back it up.
