Personally, I'd rather see BET narrow its focus. Stick to the videos. Show more diversity in videos programming. I'd rather see more videos than reruns of Sparks. They might be wiser to spin off their informational programming to another channel, though that may not be viable. Even with his millions Bob Johnson is a small fry in comparison to Viacom.

I hope other minority entertainment ventures have the opportunity to enter the arena and give Bob some company. Also, I think his focused has shifted from the channel, to his other ventures like restuarant franchises--which has a much wider profit margin-- and now the airline. He doesn't seem to be putting much into growing BET. He needs to spend more dough on improving programming and maintaining talent like Ananda & Ed Gordon who went on to money-greener pastures.

But, everytime I muster sympathy for Bob, I catch a spelling error on a video title, and I'm just disgusted.
