Here is another shocker - BET was a big deal in the 80's when there was very little media outlet catering to Blacks (or African American). Then, 20-25 years later, the popularity of BET is down. Could it be (a) Black culture is highly integrated into our culture, and there is no real demand for unique Black programming (b) main stream media have many well developed programmings to woo Black audiences away from BET. I think its both!
