NEWS: BET Upfront Announces Centric

Yesterday's BET Upfront presentation served as the launching pad for several new programs and the official announcement of Centri, a new channel that will cater to "today's affluent, trend-setting, sophisticated African American adult." The press release also reports that the channel "was created through the collective creative resources and expertise of BET Networks and MTV Networks," but doesn't address the rumors of a BET J and Vh1 Soul merger.

Look for Centric to launch in the 4th Quarter with 45 million households.

Also announced at the BET Upfront:

  • The Mo'Nique Show — A nightly talk/variety show hosted by the comedienne on BET
  • Monica: Still Standing — A BET reality show following the singer as she makes a comeback in the music biz<
