BET Upfront

Last week, I hung out with my client, April Woodard of Inside Edition, who was a guest reporter for BET Upfront.  This is where the network presents their new shows to potential advertisers.  Surpringly, I was really impressed with the large selection of quality (yes, I said quality) programming that will be made available to the public beginning this Fall (2009).  Their line up includes reality shows for singing sensation, Monica and actor, Terry Crews; an inspiring show that allow celebrities to give back - hosted by MC Lyte; and a late night talk show with our favorite curvy comedian, Mo’Nique (just to name a few).  They also introduced a new network named Centric, which is aimed to attract more mature/post-BET viewers.  Believe it or not, I’m excited.  Pictures from the event posted below.
