BET (Black Entertainment Television) is a prominent media company focused on African American audiences. Founded in 1979 by Robert L.

BET made history as the first black-owned company listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1991 and was acquired by Viacom in 2001. It now operates under BET Media Group, which includes various television networks, digital platforms, and production studios. BET offers a range of services, including original programming on its main channel, BET Her, BET Jams, and BET Soul. It also features a premium movie channel and a subscription streaming service, BET+. The company produces content through BET Studios and hosts major award shows like the BET Awards and Soul Train Awards. With a strong emphasis on cultural representation, BET targets adults aged 18–49, particularly Black women, and collaborates with various advertisers to engage its audience effectively.
