I'm guessing that this news will be met with as much indifference as A&E's plan to air episodes of The Sopranos: if you don't have HBO you'll probably just buy or rent the DVDs rather than watch some edited version. Nevertheless, BET will be airing episodes of the popular HBO series The Wire starting January 10 with a three-day marathon. It's probably not the best way to see this show, but hey, I'm not going to complain if more people are exposed to it, though I guess that's kind of a moot point since the show will end after next season, anyway.
The series will slide into a regular timeslot on BET on Thursdays at 9pm starting January 18.

Smart on BET's part. I hope this show gets even more well-deserved recognition.

why did this take so long to get tv squad? or was it posted a few weeks ago as well? if they are in order then its a great/easy way for people to watch it (i.e. my mom). i might just add it to her tivo over the net so she can call me and ask why there is a new show not called law and order or csi on her tivo.

More stereotypical programming on BET...nice. Exactly when will BET start showing programming that uplifts the black community, like TVOne? Isn't that what they're supposed to be about? I guess Flavor of Love reruns will show up there next.
Whatever.
