Hours after Tyler Perry’s interest in BET was revealed, L.A.-based media mogul Byron Allen indicated that he too was jumping into the fray.
Producer and star Tyler Perry has expressed interest in buying a majority stake in BET as the television network’s owner, Paramount Global, looks to bring on a substantial partner, according to two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment.
“Byron Allen is interested in buying BET, and he will be pursuing the acquisition of the network,” Allen’s spokesperson said late Monday. A marriage between Paramount and either of the suitors would unite power players in African American culture and media.
