Producer and star Tyler Perry has expressed interest in buying a majority stake in BET as the television network’s owner looks to bring on a substantial partner.
This weekend, ‘Madea’ mogul Tyler Perry expands one of the largest film/TV studios in the country — and pays homage to pioneering African American entertainers., which stands for Black Entertainment Television, in 1980. The channel started with very few shows, including a gospel music series and a video music program with a set so flimsy that the host’s podium once collapsed on the air. But the channel grew and thrived.
Paramount has about 77 million subscribers to its various streaming services, including about 56 million subscribers to Paramount+. More than 21 million customers have signed up for its smaller streaming offerings such as BET+ and Showtime+.Staff writer Greg Braxton contributed to this report.
