Paramount Buys Out Tyler Perry Stake in BET+, Will Fold Streamer Into Paramount+


Back in 2019 Tyler Perry partnered with BET to launch the BET+ streaming app [click here if you missed that].

Now the app shutting down after being purchased by Paramount...

From The Hollywood Reporter
Streaming service BET+ is shutting down, and its programming will be folded into Paramount+, the company announced Friday.
Paramount Skydance has bought out Tyler Perry Studios’ equity stake in BET+, which will help facilitate the move. BET Networks president Louis Carr said in a memo to staff that the move will “ensure the stories we champion, the creators we support and the culture we represent [will] go further than ever before.” (Read the full memo below.)
The changeover will happen in June, when about 1,000 hours of BET+ programming will become part of Paramount+, including the Perry-produced All the Queen’s Men and Zatima, The Ms. Pat Show and the critically acclaimed Diarra From Detroit.

Paramount has become a Maga company. Expect BET to disappear completely (maybe that's not a bad thing!).

This is so fitting. CBS (owned by Paramount) is the home of the original TV series of Amos ’n' Andy. Tyler Perry's shows should feel right at home.

This is bs. They are going to phase out black actors, black stories and black opportunities. TP is a sell out.

This is absolutely the END of BET. Paramount is run by extreme Maga racists so bye to BET awards, shows and anything else Black focused. They gave Tyler some pocket change like a 2 bit hooker gets on the the corner of the nightstand and said see your out. 💯😒

Yeah, BET, black Television keeps getting sold out.

First the original owner.

Then Tyler & Oprah bought in low & now selling out high

This move to Paramount will finish it off....

The only Black Television ALLOWED will be the fighting

& extreme disfunctionalism as seen on Zuess Tv, Now thats Tv, & the Love & Hiphop,Housewives type shows

ONLY BLACK TRASH TV will be allowed

Why because it keeps the culture in a destitute sunken place, mentally trapped unable to unite, to prosper, to elevate, to AND permanently in the prison pipeline

Digital and Physical SLAVERY , game over.
