Producer, director, actor, and entrepreneur Tyler Perry has been interested in buying a majority stake in BET Network. Perry and Byron Allen seem to be in a "bidding war" for Paramount's BET Network, as Paramount looks for substantial partners to invest. Byron Allen is the founder of Entertainment Studios and CEO of Allen Media Group. Byron Allen is well known for various acquisitions... The Weather Channel and an equity stake in Sinclair Broadcast Group's acquisition of Fox Sports Networks. Paramount's plans to raise money and shed assets are to pay down debt and invest in their two-year-old streaming service, Paramount Plus+. Paramount wants to retain a portion of the BET Media Group, which includes the VH1 television channel and the BET+ streaming service. MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT FROM HOST YAMARI SHUMAKER!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
