Master P TV Network Better Black Television
Master P, or P. Miller as he now prefers to be called, is launching a new cable network for people of color. Better Black Television will premiere in 2009 to provide a “positive content for a black and brown culture.”
BBTV will feature scripted, unscripted and news programming, as well as “responsible hip-hop music and videos,” P said in a statment last week.
“I believe that there is a market in our community for a new diverse network that provides a new brand of superior programming that caters to all aspects of television, from reality to original programming,” he said.
BBTV’s Proposed Programming Schedule:
Sunset and Vine: Video show hosted by Vyshonn Miller and Brittany Phillips that will showcase the top hip-hop and R&B acts as well as play classic videos.
Manage Your Money: Featuring financially successful people lending tips to promote financial literacy.
Close to the Starz: A behind-the-scenes show that takes the viewers up close and personal to their favorite celebrities.
Karma TV Show: Bilingual soap opera with an African-American and Latino cast.
What’s Cooking TV Show: Talk show that covers wide aspects of entertainment and current events while cooking healthy, budget-conscious meals.
The Black List Movies: Film showcase featuring classic and contemporary movies, as well as original BBTV productions.
Hip-Hop Garage Show: Saturday show that will play new and upcoming music.

I think the idea is great. There are not enough black TV stations in the U.S. and I’m sure it will be appreciated by everyone.
Plus, I’m looking for a TV presentation job. When does recruitment begin?
