PROGRAMMING
BET Networks announces cast of the much-anticipated New Edition biopic: NEW EDITION: THE MOVIE. Bryshere Y. Gray (Empire), Elijah Kelley (The Butler, The Wiz Live!), Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Luke James, Keith Powers (Straight Outta Compton) and new comers Algee Smith and Woody McClain have joined the cast of the original miniseries based on the iconic music group New Edition
At a time of increasing fragmentation in broadcast, when DVRs allow people to schedule programming on their own time rather than when a network wants them to watch, there's a great deal of value in a network that can deliver viewers to advertisers in a timely fashion.
