Renew The Contract For Tavis Smiley As Host For Bet Tonight

"Tavis was one of the only honest Black voices on television who developed a format where all voices can be heard."

"Please keep this show in the air. It is very informative and we as blacks need to stay inform. Travis, keep the faith and everything will work out."

"I object to the discontinuing "

"PLEASE ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST. ALSO TELL OTHERS TO SEND LETTERS NOT E-MAIL BET/VIACOM BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN REROUTED. IT IS AS IF YOU NEVER E-MAILED THEM. "

"I am supportive of Tavis Smiley. Renew Tavis Smiley's contract."

"This was big mistake, correct it while you can. "

"I say we boycott anything with Uncle(Tom)Bob Johnson's name on it."

"This is a very bad move on the BET network's part. Tavis plays a very informational part into our knowledge about current and past issues in Black America. I think that if it weren't for Tavis and BET Tonight, I don't think I would be nearly as interested"

"I am totally ashamed and angered about the firing of Tavis Smiley. BET has lost their minds. Tavis is a viable force in the Black community and should not be silenced. Why is it tha when Blacks are outspoken and passionate about the things that affect "

"Renew Tavis' contract, or lose viewers."

"I think Tavis Smiley's talk show is the best show BET has. I don't understand why you don't have a program that has a broader spectrum of ages? I'm 21 years old and tired of watching the same videos everyday all day long. KEEP TAVIS!!!!"

"Without Tavis I have no reason to watch BET."

"I enjoy BET with Tavis Smiley and hope BET reconsiders putting his show back on the air. If not, I will not support BET as a viewer."

"Remove the other degrading images on BET (your music videos are insulting!) Keep the voice of courage and challenge (which I suspect is why Tavis is being removed)"

"Good afternoon Sir. "

"VIACOM Your motives are loud and clear...continue to enslave young black viewers to rated r videos than to educate and empower them to rise to meet the challenges of the new millenium. Without Tavis that station is not worth watching and I will continue t"

"In think Mr Johnson sold out in more ways than one. I refuse to watch BET at all if TAVIS goes."

"Bring back Tavis Smiley!"
