BET Launching Two Channels Exclusively for Tyler Perry Content

BET Media Group has launched two free, ad-supported television channels — BET Tyler Perry Comedy and BET Tyler Perry Drama. These channels showcase nonstop marathons of Tyler Perry’s most popular series. Fans can now enjoy shows like House of Payne, The Oval, Sistas, Ruthless, Assisted Living, All The Queens Men, and ZATIMA. Additional series such as The Haves and The Have Nots, Meet The Browns, and Too Close To Home are set to be added later. Both channels will be available through various ad-supported platforms including Roku, Pluto TV, Plex, TCL, and FreeVee.

“The introduction of Perry’s content to FAST channels is a momentous occasion in our partnership,” stated BET Media Group Media Sales President Louis Carr. “We’re thrilled to provide Black audiences with a fresh avenue to enjoy Tyler Perry’s content and offer more access options for our original programming.”

Along with these two channels, BET Media Group has also signed a deal extending their partnership with Tyler Perry through 2028. This collaboration will bring “hundreds of new episodes to BET, comprising both top existing and entirely new series.”

“Tyler Perry is simply without rival as a creator of content that powerfully resonates with audiences across genres, formats, and platforms,” remarked BET Media Group CEO Scott Mills. “Our programming partnership with Tyler – undoubtedly the largest deal ever in the industry with a Black creator – has been immensely successful, delivering the number one series across all TV among Black audiences and five of the top 10 series on cable among Black viewers.”
