Don't take our TAVIS away!

Sorors and friends, if you haven't heard, check out this article.

If you are "pro Tavis", get on the move and be about it, don't just talk about it.

Although I don't frequent BET often, this is one program (of few) worth watching and retaining for the more mature and intellectually stimulated viewing audience.

The price of restructuring, I guess, along with Emerge becoming Savoy...

I suppose we'll see another video program in his place. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Well, I guess tonight will be the last time I watch BET...I will listen to what "Sell-Out" Johnson has to say, and then no more. I refuse to continue to support a mediocre channel, when there are so many others I can watch in its place.
FYI-I am boycotting all Viacom channels and anything remotely connected with them(No more Nick at Nite http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif )

Hi Soror, Did u watch BET last night? What did they have to say? I was trying to listen to Bob Johnson on the Russ Parr Morning show but a call came in not more than a minute after he was talking so I missed it :-(

What did u think? Can I get a run down?

What would yall do if you found out that Tavis's firing was justifiable?

[Sweet Deliverance]

Although I have not personally worked with Mr. Smiley http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif , I doubt that his firing was really "justifiable". I feel like his "boss" was the sell out and that because Tavis would not compromise, he was seen as a no longer useful hole in the payroll for BET.

Don't get me wrong; for the most part I agree with you. I don't have enough facts for me to conclude either way. I feel for Tavis-if he was treated unjustly; on the other hand, if IT WAS STRICTLY BUSINESS, then to hell with them both!

I got an email stating that Robert Johnson, offered Tavis his job back. Is this true? I looked for it in the papers and didn't find it. Someone please tell me what they know

[112Soul]

I don't know whether or not Tavis was offered his job back but if he was, I wouldn't take it. I know the whole situation was unfair and everything but for all the drama it caused, I don't think it will be worth it. I think Tavis should go to a network or do something on his own to where he is REALLY appreciated. I don't feel that BET has done that.
