B.E.T UK (BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELVISION UK) TO LAUNCH NEXT WEEK

  One of my first post’s on Mad News was about BET UK, asking whether or not it would ever see the light of day here in the UK, as promised. MTV Base now airs BET Shows, the DATED Lil Kim Countdown To Lock Down and the dreadful ‘DMX – Soul Of A Man’, along with College Hill (I never watch that….). So what was the deal?
