Did you know that Master P has his own "family friendly" television network titled "Better Black Television" or BBTV for short? Did you know that Silkk the Shocker has a talk show on there where they countdown the hottest "positive" hip-hop music videos? They even have a Madea like original sitcom "Uncle Willy's Family"....Well if you didn't know, check out
BetterBlackTV.com you'll see all of this plus more.
Master P plans to have the network fully up and running sometime this year, and hopes to be the next Bob Johnson [founder of BET]. He describes his network as family friendly and very positive. Check out the lineup [

This is a pretty good look for Master P. Not to mention all the stacks he'll make if this actually takes off. Too bad BET has scarred me to the point where I rarely turn the tv on as it is....
