No, it's not basic, it's a premuim channel (like HBO). But from what I understand (I have friends who work in the cable industry), the company will buy the rights to show a movie X amount of times. Where (meaning which of their channels)/when they show it is up to thepurchaser of the rights. The decision not to show it on regular BET boils down to $$$. If you wanna see it, you gotta pay for it. Supply and demand.

THe producers/editors don't have jack to say about it though. The studio owns that movie and once it's in the can they can pretty much do whatever they like to it (this is why all those "director's cuts" exist. so that the original visionary can show they movie the way they intended).

If they could edit "Do the Right thing" and "Harlem Nights" tey could edit Slam. Whether the integrity of the film would be comromised or not is subjective.

Now THAT is funny. True, yet still funny. And while were sort of on that subject (drug dealers and such), does anyone wonder why BET couldn't make a program like "The Corner"?
