Master P x Better Black Television. Been awhile since I heard any update on Master P’s venture into launching his Better Black Television (BBTV) network but AHH has the inside scoop on the latest. While most would consider BBTV a direct competitor to BET, Master P insists he didn’t create as a response to BET.
“I don’t think it’s a response, but it fills a void…it’s going to show people where the future is going because a lot of us don’t want to die gangbangers in the hood. Some of us do want to get older and be around to raise their kids.”
Reason for the lack of news in regards to BBTV is because Master P has been busy ironing out the regulatory issues with creating a television network, establishing his programming and even gathering together a group of high powered board of directors which includes Denzel Washington, NAACP executive director Vicangelo Bullock, Hip-Hop founder Kool Herc, cable industry veteran Professor Sal Martino, and real estate mogul Curtis Oakes.
BBTV is set to launch in 2010. If Percy can really pull this off he will beat the rest of the hip-hop mogul posse (Diddy, Kanye, 50, Jay-Z, etc) in being the first to have his own TV network. Check the website for more details.
Truth is if this EVER does launch it will be tucked away as some Directv channel that no one will even know about.
The website looks good … but this is a BIG endeavor. Not sure how much he will have to compromise to play with the big boys, especially if it is a major success.
[...] in the near future. Let’s just hope Lil Romeo isn’t involved in an acting capacity. [Wooha] Share and [...]

MASTER P NEVER GIVES UP. That’s one of the things i respect about him. I know this BBTV will make it. I can feel it. BET is getting boring now something better is coming.I wonder how muuch money he’s gooing to make if this channel is a success. This man has had clothes, shoes, movies, music. The whole nine and lot of failed businesses but still never gives up.Damn P they laughed at you and did it again.A cable network will bring him and his family wealth and he’s got celebrities riding with him Including Denzil Washington. Master P is the best man for the job he’s has a strong personality a good aura. 50 Couldn’t do it nelly couldn’t do it , but P fits the shoes for the first hip hop mogul with a cable television network
