Teen Summit - Show back in the 1990's where Ananda Lewis came from before she went to MTV.
BET News - News show that showed many different things goin on in the nation, and most of it was black-related issues that probably wouldn't be seen on the regular news
BET Tonight with Tavis Smiley - Tavis Smiley would interview different blacks for many different reasons, but all of the interviews would be serious and had a positive vibe. He was the first that I know to bring DJ Quik and MC Eiht together publically, and he had them both on there talkin to each other and talkin about doin a song together. However, they fired him over some completely bullshit reasons, and most people think it's because Viacom took over.
BET Tonight with Ed Gordon - Similar to how it was with Tavis Smiley, but they ended it as well.
Lead Story - Had a similar setup to "Outside the lines" on ESPN, and talked about different stories that were most relevant at the time to blacks. They would interview people involved with situations, and have panel discussions.
BET Jazz - They used to show Jazz every night, and we all know Jazz as an art form is much more positive and culturally rich than Hip Hop will ever be
So yeah...along with those shows, the regular video shows they had such as Carribean Rhythms and Video Soul just had a much more mature and positive vibe to them than most of what they show now. College Hill basically tries to cancel out everything that was achieved on shows like Teen Summit.
Javier:
Thanks, looks like a lot of good shows. Tavis Smiley at least comes out on PBS now, it's pretty good
Trauma-san:
I've never watched BET, and I never will. I've never been flipping through the channels and found 1 show on there that looked even mildly appealing to me. Don't take it personal. I also don't watch ESPN because I'm not into sports.
