Tyler Perry begins campaign to save BET from being axed by DIRECTV

Tyler, whose movies and TV shows air on BET, is out to use his voice and platform to make sure that “Viacom and BET is on DIRECTV”.

At Madea’s Farewell Play Tour, Tyler took to the stage after his show to raise awareness about the issue while telling the audience how they can save BET to ensure that it remains on DIRECTV for viewers.

The director asked Americans to Save BET by calling a number shared on the screen or trending the hashtag #KeepViacom. Web users are already using the #KeepViacom hashtag as Tyler requested to encourage DIRECTV to change their mind.

Read Tyler’s post:

“Ok, so I’m ticked off. @directv@att is about to drop @bet and 22 other @viacom channels. This is crazy. I’ve had @directv for years. You can’t just drop @bet!!! And not expect there to be backlash. @bet has been on the air since I was a kid. This is not right. So I took this to the stage after my show, and I will be screaming this all over the country. Save BET!! Call (888) 250-5557 or use hashtag #KeepViacom”
