Scott Mills bounced from BET after running the network for 23 years, and insiders got the news through an email where he talked about how honored he felt working with the brand and the Black community. Mills started at BET back in the late 90s and pushed the company through major moves like launching BET+ and signing deals with Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels, basically turning a cable channel into something way bigger across multiple platforms.
His exit happened right after Paramount merged with Skydance, which folded BET into a TV Media division, and people noticed the network was missing from leadership updates under the new setup. Louis Carr is stepping in as the replacement after spending three decades at BET, where he ran media sales before getting promoted.
