"Koala, are you going to quantify, analyze, etc. this info and share?"

No- but this information is important to this cause. Its actually not a cause I can propogate but Im willing to help any of you proceed correctly. What Im hoping you guys will organize is a substantial and demonstrative example of what you guys are to BET's audience.

with you claiming to be a viewer since 85 and Boodah and all he claims- you guys are on your way to establishing a very reasonable and effective letter campaign.

conversely letters that only amount to- "BET sucks, get rid of comic view" arent sufficient- theyve heard it all before.

What BET needs to act on your requests is assurance that when they make those changes- people will be watching; you cant really do that without establishing that you are already watching na'mean.

Im not trying to tear your endeavors down- Im sharing with you the more positive and effective ways that his might work.

Truth be told BET directors are old- and soon enough they'll need to be passing their torches to people likeyou who are ready to take it into the next millenium. They are currently in a very precarious position- do we cater to all the Black folk that have supported us all along or try to reach this new crowd of Blacks who totally defy everything we are; the answer is unfortunately obvious.

What needs to be demonstrated is that you want to wrok with BET and that you appreciate what they are capable of and the issues they have to deal with- otherwise you get nowhere. How far are you gonna get telling they should go off the air?

You can do this okayplayer? But you have to do it right.
