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.

Mas....I mean P Miller is stepping up to a new level in the game


I have to respect this guys movements in showing the country and inevitably the world(mainly people of color), that possibilities are not determined by your background. Master P has taken a $10,000 check left behind by a relative, and turned it into something huge over the years. Although many hardcore Hip Hop heads may not agree with his ability to rap or make a classic record I am sure that they agree on one thing. This man is about his upward mobility by any means.

Read the current statements on what he is doing next:


Percy Miller (formerly Master P) announces the launch of
Better Black Television (BBTV) a family friendly network that will
provide positive content for a black and brown culture that will appeal
to all races with a goal to bring people of color a choice when turning
on their television. The content on the channel will contain a wide
arrangement from health and fitness, animation, financial planning,
reality TV, sitcoms, dramas, movies, responsible hip-hop music and
videos, politics, sports and entertainment news, educational children’s
shows as well as teen and family programming.


Better Black Television is the brainchild and passion of some of the
most diverse, powerful, celebrated entertainers, influentials and
trendsetters from the Television, Film, Professional Sports, Corporate
America and Music industries. These visionaries all share the common
goal of enhancing the current television landscape for this highly
coveted demographic currently monopolized by only a few significant
providers, with fresh, innovative, uplifting and above all
family-friendly entertainment.
