\"\"<\/a>Look out B.E.T! Magic Johnson’s new TV network hit the airwaves the other day and I am happy to see it happen readers because I am not a fan of Black Entertainment Television (aka BET). I don’t like the way they operate their company and I don’t like the programs on the air.<\/p>\n

As we all know, Magic Johnson is a Hall Of Fame NBA basketball player. One of the greatest players of all times. Some say he is the greatest because he was a 6-9 point guard. If you know basketball, how many 6-9 point guards can you name folks? Not to many that is for sure.<\/p>\n

And just about every thing Magic does it turns to gold. After he left the NBA he has a become a GREAT businessman. He is worth about $500 million. And has put jobs in the inner cities of America. Thousands and thousands of jobs. He is a man who had plans after basketball unlike many other NBA, NFL and MLB players who are broke after making millions on the court and in the field.<\/p>\n

Now Magic is starting a new TV network called ASPIRE. It is starting out in cities with big African American populations like New York, Chicago and a few other cities. But it will spread to many other cities in the new few years including here in my hometown of Seattle, Washington.<\/p>\n

Aspire will be a success. That is for sure. And I am happy to see it is on the air just like I am happy to watch Cathy Hughes owned network TV One. TV One has programs on the air I want to watch UNLIKE BET. They have hardly any programs I want to watch. Except for the program starring Tracy Ellis Ross and Malcolm Jamal Warner. That’s about it.<\/p>\n

TV One has a great program call “Unsung” about past African American stars who has had problems etc. It is a really good program. Watched one the other day on the legendary Sly Stone. BET in my opinion does NOT have a program that I can say to myself “Man I really want to watch this” And I know MANY of you feel the same. Does BET have a program that you say ‘<\/p>\n

BET is full of themselves and they play games with artists music videos and play other games for which I will not get into right now in this article. But I will say this, I was told of a ban that BET put down on certain artists music videos. When I get more information I will write a article about it right here on MIC.<\/p>\n

Please hit the link above for more information on Magic’s new network. And if you are in NY or Chicago etc please tune into Aspire. When it finally hits Seattle, I will for sure watch. Because they will have programs I want to view unlike BET!<\/p>\n

Again I will be writing more stories on the games BET has played and continues to play with artists and more.<\/p>\n
