	BET: A Network of Our Own
		Although BET was never a great network, it is still quite some distance from where it began.
		BET is commercial media and commercial media is uh, well, commercial.
		The BET controversy exposes how much we are still struggling over the return of our drums, our way to connect to this larger whole, this "Africanity" that we share.

	Current Online \| Tavis Smiley Show
		Tavis Smiley is at a studio mike, grooving to bumper music between segments on a recent installment of his morning show, broadcast today from NPR's Washington headquarters instead of his Los Angeles digs, because he's in town for the Public Radio Conference.
		Smiley's large Rolodex of newsmakers is in evidence — he's broken exclusive interviews with Bill Clinton, Bill Gates and Cornel West, who appeared on Tavis's debut show to discuss his quarrels with Harvard University President Lawrence Summers.
		Smiley recently interviewed Alexis Scott, a former diversity director at Cox Enterprises, who left general-audience media to return to a fl newspaper in Atlanta founded by her grandfather.

	Reading Between the Lines: What Happened to Tavis?
		It occurred to me that perhaps Tavis Smiley had outgrown BET, or that maybe he was struggling to reconcile his public advocate instincts with his high-profile position as the host of a supposedly news-oriented national talk show.
		Smiley's recent coup -- an interview with a former SLA moll (that's Patty Hearst's old gang) that aired on ABC, much to the surprise of the leadership at BET -- did help some key individuals solidify their decision not to renew his contract.
		I don't think that this is what led BET to sever its relationship with Tavis Smiley, I simply raise this point as another element to consider.

		Smiley has made it his life's work to make African-Americans more aware of and active in social, cultural and political affairs both nationally and abroad.
		Smiley is that most savvy of sociocultural activists: He knows the right places to speak to the masses.
		Since Smiley is already working on a TV show that challenges the minds of African-Americans instead of giving them the umpteenth booty-shaking Cash Money Millionaires video, it looks like he's already doing his part.

	PopMatters \| Columns \| Mark Anthony Neal \| Big Pimpin' Bourgeois Style: the Demise of Tavis Smiley's BET Tonight
		While Smiley remained silent, Joyner and company continued their assault on Viacom, suggesting that Smiley's contract was not renewed in retribution for his political stances.
		Johnson admitted during his unprecedented appearance during a special one hour BET Tonight, where viewers were able to call in and e-mail one of the most prominent gatekeepers of fl intellectual and entertainment property, that the specific reason for Smiley's removal was because of the interview with Sara Jane Olsen.
		I say all this to suggest that Smiley has not posited anything in his formidable political body of work that would suggest that he is at all a threat to the political status quo.

	[No title]
		Smiley’s employment status was made public last Wednesday on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” Black America’s top syndicated morning radio program, when Joyner announced that BET did not renew the activist-broadcaster’s contract.
		Smiley, appearing on “Joyner” last Thursday, thanked BET for allowing him to have the opportunity to interview everyone "from Clinton to Castro, Cosby to Cochran, from Prince to the Pope, from Patty to Puffy, from Sharpton to Snoop." But he chided the network for its curt, faxed memo about his contract's non-renewal.
		Smiley, a former aide to Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, had hosted “BET Tonight” since its 1996 inception as “BET Talk.” He became a twice-weekly commentator on Joyner’s show that same year after being introduced to the Dallas-based deejay by President Clinton.

		Smiley's BET show pulls less than 200,000 listeners, but his twice-weekly commentator appearances on the "Tom Joyner Morning Show" made Smiley nationally-known.
		To buttress Smiley's efforts to stay at BET, Joyner is trying to use his five million listeners to try and sway Viacom, all the while dissing Johnson and BET.
		And, those who claim that Smiley and Joyner are the "voices of fl people" only have to look at their silence during what became the largest race bias case in U.S. history - the Coca Cola case.
