Paramount Global has pulled out of a deal to sell BET Media Group to renowned filmmaker Tyler Perry.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Paramount announced that they had ended the bidding process, which would have included VH1 and BET Studios, streamer BET+ and the BET channel —because “a sale wouldn’t result in any meaningful deleveraging of its balance sheet.”Perry’s potential ownership would have made BET Black-owned again after 21 years, while VH1, for the first time, would have boasted an African American owner for the first time.
The renowned actor and filmmaker previously expressed optimism about purchasing BET, stating his keen interest if it were a possibility. The exact financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but experts on this sort of transaction have placed a significant value on the acquisition of the two networks.In 2021 alone, BET+ was responsible for half of the subscribers and nearly all revenue growth for the channel.
