musicsongsmusic videoslyricsA visit to www.bet.com, the web presence for the Black Entertainment
Network, will certainly impress those that have not previously visited
the site. As you would expect, the site focuses on the African American
entertainment community. From the world of music, movies and television
to sports and news from around America, bet.com is a fun and also,
comprehensive website.
The Black Entertainment Network was started as an entrepreneurial effort
back in 1980 by founder and current President Robert L. Johnson. Based
in Washington D.C., the network has several music programs that play
mainstream rap and show R&B music videos. They fill some of their
air time with relatively recent as well as classic black tv comedy shows
like "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons". Movies set in tough, urban
neighborhoods are a popular genre on the network. A classic like "Shaft"
is likely to be playing at any time.
The Black Entertainment Network, while focused primarily on the African
American community, does not exclude people from other races and
backgrounds. Much of their website, www.bet.com offers content that is
of interest to all sorts of people. There is a game section where you
can play online action, sports and puzzle games. There are numerous
blogs where you can interact and discuss issues that interest you. Of
course, music, acting, dance and sports have sections devoted
specifically to them. Check the news locally, nationally and around the
world. Enter contests and have fun exploring the site.
On June 27, 2010, BET will celebrate their 10 year anniversary of the
BET Awards show which honors the achievements of the African American
community in the fields of music, acting and sports. Be sure to tune in!
