REGINALD HUDLIN IS OUT AT BET

Today, BET announced that Reginald Hudlin will be stepping down from his position at BET. The memo released by BET Chair, Debra Lee, states that Hudlin will return to his "entrepreneurial roots as an independent producer." Hudlin brought into BET just three years ago to bring in more original programming to the station.

Lee stated that "Under his leadership, the entertainment division produced 17 of the top 20 highest rated shows in the network's 28-year history." "Including 'Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown,' 'American Gangster,' 'Baldwin Hills,' 'Sunday Best,' our first scripted series, 'Somebodies,' and our highest rated series ever, 'Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is.'"

Hmmmm... no comment.
