1989 BET Commercial | "We're Giving You a Choice" 

BET was the real thing back then, now it's just not the same.

Sherry Carter, Rap City's Mayor himself Chris Thomas, and Dr. Bobby Jones!

This is the BET I remember though I was really little

This clip brings tears to my eyes because I missed the old BET channel when they had good quality programs for us to watch it back in the day. 😭

Happy 40th anniversary, BET.

BET TV was indeed BET back then

I remember when bet only came on part of the day.

Extraordinary BET Commercial !

The BET I GREW UP ON! Made you proud of being Black seeing a channel with people, who look like you, that you can relate to. It felt more empowering and positive. Not this MTV Non Black crap thats on it now, that highlights a bunch of raunchiness and dysfunctional behavior towards each other and always putting out content and images to persuade us from having the Black family and Black couples in love, strong.

Sherry Carter was amazing

Awesome music

Nostalgic indeed... Great era of 📺 on BET

Video LP I love that show

This is beautiful, and beautifully done

Sherry Carter! I remember her from Video Soul! 😀 ❤ Remember on the weekends when you could call in and request the music videos that you wanted to see?

Before Social Media ruined everything in the world.

Bet Was a great Network Happy 40th

Vesta Williams in the commercial and Patti Austin singing the jingle.

Happy 40th anniversary BET

I saw a G. I've seen it all. I am the founder of Black Entertainment Television. Dope describes my rhymes, making all you emcees cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin. Scott/MCSC

Damn, what happened BET?

After 2 years of "We're Coming On for You".

Dam I don't remember this bet I didn't start watching til 95 when shows like teen summit and jam zone and planet groove I really stop watching bet around 2003-04

Now BET has opened new doors for today's black networks: Bounce, Dabl and the 365.

What a fall from the top.
