BET Goes Abroad!

According to Yahoo TV, starting next week black Brits will be able to tune into "106 & Park", "College Hill" and "American Gangster" as Viacom's BET is all set to launch in the UK.

"For the UK version of BET, we will be giving BET's U.S. content a regionalized look and feel that reflects the UK marketplace, and as we grow and develop the channel, we look forward to partnering with the UK creative industry to give BET an even stronger British accent," said BET International General Manager Michael Armstrong.

It's about time! Having just gotten back from Europe, I think their television programming on a whole could definitely use some color.
