BET+ is adding a lower-priced, ad-supported subscription tier this June.<\/p>\n
BET+, targeting Black audiences in the U.S., delivers a library of more than 2,000 hours of content from the likes of Tyler Perry, Gabrielle Union, Lee Daniels, Mary J. Blige and Kevin Hart, among others. BET+ Essential will be priced at $5.99 a month and is set to become available on June 25. Ads will be between 15 seconds and 30 seconds in length, playing before and during programming.<\/p>\n
\u201cA primary focus for BET+ has been delivering consumers the content they want, how they want it and when they want it, so the natural evolution of the service was to provide consumers with a more economical ad-integrated experience,\u201d said Scott Mills, president and CEO of BET Media Group. \u201cWe are delighted to expand access to our premium streaming service by introducing this ad-supported tier.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis lower priced, ad-supported tier of BET+ will not only deliver to our audiences, but to the advertising community, which has long expressed an appetite for more nonlinear options in reaching the highly coveted, digital-native Black consumer market,\u201d added Louis Carr, president of media sales at BET Media Group. \u201cAs the preeminent Black streaming service, only BET+ Essential can deliver reach, resonance, relevance, and scale. In fact, 80 percent of BET+ members watch from a connected TV, and, with the launch of our ad-supported option, we offer advertisers the perfect addition to linear, reaching even more Black viewers when they are most engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
