Black Entertainment Television network is ready to present this year’s BET Awards with some hot artists, good music, and expected surprises. BET President of Entertainment and East St. Louis native Reginald Hudlin, and the network’s VP of BET Music Programming and Talent, Stephen Hill, headed up the cable network’s team to put together the 2007 BET Awards airing tomorrow night, June 26th at 8pm ET/7pm CT.
This year, BET brings back 2004 host Mo’Nique. “Mo’Nique really captures the spirit of the BET Awards,” Hudlin said for the BET fave.
Performances and appearances to be featured this year include T.I., Beyonce, Diddy, Stevie Wonder, and a special performance by 50 Cent to be chosen by the BET audience. The 50 Cent selection is just one of a handful of components on the show that are under the control of the BET viewers.
“We’ve always done mixed genres [and] mixed demographics on stage – we always try to build those moments and we don’t want to tip those,” he said of the surprises. “The big thing about this year is we’re really trying to involve our audience. How can we make the show different, how can we make it bigger? Involve the audience in the making of the show.”
The show will air tomorrow night on BET 8pm ET/7pm CT.
