PROFILE |
 |
BET Interactive (formerly BET.com) is hoping to be the online cultural connection for African-Americans. Backed by majority owner BET Holdings II (which Viacom acquired in 2001), as well as Liberty Media, Microsoft, News Corp., and USA Networks, the BET.com portal offers African-Americans a medley of content and services. The Web site provides information on topics including news, health, music, and careers. In addition, it offers e-mail and chat services as well as streaming music and plans to introduce e-commerce features once the site has built an audience. BET Interactive also owns hip-hop music and culture Web site 360hiphop.com.
