*Hmm, maybe T.J. Holmes‘ late night show “Don’t Sleep” is not the snoozer some think it is. Apparently BET thinks it’s a hit.
So much so that the network expanded the show to a full hour beginning tomorrow (11-14-12), at 11pm Eastern. However, the show will only air on a weekly basis.
Hold up. Wait a minute, you go from doing a half-hour nightly edition to a one-day-a-week hour long version. Hmm, is that a promotion or demotion?
Well, while you ponder that, the net’s press release says the “award-winning journalist reaches deep into topics, empowering the community with the latest information and research. With an extra hour, imagine the possibilities of mind-expansion.”
Yes, imagine the possibilities. And what does T. J. Holmes have to say about the move?
“I am excited to have more time to delve into the topics that affect our community, content that will ignite, inspire, educate and empower us as a passionate collective and community,” he said. “The election proved people of color are a coveted segment within society with voices that deserve and require platforms and time to be heard so resolve and solutions can be implemented towards greater change.”
Dizzy from the spin! The ratings for this show were in the basement; this is just short of the show being canceled
I for one hopes the show make it! It is a MUCH needed vehicle, for Our people! And it IS waaaaay too short, to properly discuss the issues it addresses! Good luck, TJ, hope you “make it through the storm! Quiet as kept?, “they” WILL lie about ratings, just to shut it down, due to the education & progressive nature OF the show, for “Us”!! So…..let’s just see WTF happens.
BET will lie to shut him down? That doesn’t make sense. So BET is hating on their “own”?
Why did he leave CNN. Once you go black, it’s not too late to go back.
Like….. it was merely “10 SECONDS”!!!, after I posted what I posted & you responded. So…you TOO are one of those “Mormons” itching for a scratch, huh!? SMH/tisk tisk tisk. Should I?, naaaaaw, yeah I will, Umm It “makes sense” b/c We (sorry!) “MY” people don’t OWN BET & anyone who’s familiar with the strategic racism IN the business?, can tell you that networks notoriously “purposely” will put on “bad” Black programming, knowing “no one will watch (b/c it IS “bad”) or they will attempt to be “fair” & place “good” Black shows on, and then take them off, b/c the said show is “catching on” & they DON’T WANT Us “to” watch & be….enlightened. So…..it isn’t a question of BET “being against their own”, it is what it has ALWAYS been….”your” people being against….miiiiiiiiiine, kapeesh!? Chuuuuuuch!
@gayle kkk better to be thought a fool,than to comment and prove it but in your case you’ve already proven it time and again.
Umm…..okaaaaaaaay!?? Eye yie yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!!!!! SMH! Good lookin out, peeps! Wink!
He must have been sleep walking when he left cnn to work for these fools.
