BET is actully doing a Marathon for a TV show today hat is currently aired on three different Cable stations???????? The Fresh Prince is on TBS, N@N, and ABCFamily and BET wants to accomplish what today by airing multiple eps of a already well exposed TV show?-LOL


I can see if they were airing them UNCUT but I don't understand this move

I remember applauding BET for such a wonderful pick up but then was confused when they would only air the show in the mornings-lol

This is pretty much how most cable channels seem to do w/ most shows made in the very late '80s, '90s, and especially 2000s these days.

If a show is already on one channel, overkill it on another channel!

Just pure laziness that they don't wanna get many shows that haven't seen the light of day in years b/c of that!



MWC - Airs on Spike TV, TBS picks it up and airs it
That '70s Show - Airs on FX, also aired by ABC Family and The N

Pretty much any Viacom-owned channel will ship most of their shows to other entity channels.

EX's:
ANTM - reruns on VH1, MTV, and now Oxygen
Hogan Knows Best - aired on VH1, reruns on MTV and CMT

Thank you for confirming that since FP is also on another cable channel, BET's marathon was the dumbest programming move in this decade
