In an exclusive interview that aired this week on BET Nightly News, BET founder and CEO Robert L. Johnson said his effort with Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder to bring Major League Baseball to the nation's capital may lead to the launch of a new regional sports television network. The Washington Post reported earlier that Johnson had proposed to use part of his personal fortune to buy 51 percent of the Montreal Expos and move the team to Washington, DC.

LOL....... ans what would they be called? The D.C. Expos?

R.J. is no longher founder and C.E.O of BET to me, he's the Founder turned sellout!

Hey RJ, while you claim to be head of BET, why don't you put something meaningful on that junkbox video channel of yours that you sold out.

106th & Park doesn't even apply anymore, R.J.! It should now be called 57th & 11th! 
Enjoy your new hi-class digs...all by yourself BET. I don't watch it ANYMORE!
