Should Master P rethink the name of his new broadcasting station?

The other day I was speaking with a few friends and we ended up in this debate about Master P( P. Miller to be PC about it), and the discussion led to his new venture that is taking off in 2009, BBTV. Better Black Television. My friends were proud of the new move and so was I. However the name of the station was troubling to me. For reasons that I hope many would agree. The name of the network is not needed to bring the concept to life. I know that that African Americans needs a place for positive programming, but I think the name of the station should be different that the proposed name.

The chosen name does nothing for Blacks but stick us in to a conceptual corner. You do not see a station called better white TV. So why do we have to settle for such a segregationist move in name titling? I personally think that the station should have a new name with the same focus. I know his goal is to provide better programming for the Black community. However for it to be taken serious in the world of broadcasting it should have a universal station name. Perhaps Miller Broad casting( PMBC, MBC, PBC, or MPBC). It will provide it with a sense of class and it will have a better chance of coming out of the box.

This is all just a thought. However I may sound about it, I am behind the move 100% and not a point less.

So people what do you think about the new station name? Talk to me and let me know. We only have a few months before it launches.
