Those distraught over the loss of BET Uncut have a few options:

1. Sign an online petition to restore the show
2. Visit the apparently unaffiliated BETUncut.net before it gets sued out of existence
3. Watch a porn while listening to your favorite rap album

NEWS: BET Jazz Relaunches As BET J

Long running BET channel BET Jazz — which was officially renamed BET J back on March 1— has taken on a new programming initiative to match it's updated name. BET Digital Networks Executive VP & GM Paxton K. Baker mapped out the new direction in a letter distributed to the industry this week.

While continuing to feature jazz music, BET J will be embracing soul, r&b, reggae, Latin and all related genres. Highlights to the new schedule include two new M-F primetime shows:

• Soul Sessions — a mix of r&b and soul videos from both veteran and developing artists
• Timeless — A biography series that focuses on the careers of r&b legends

Weekend programming is broken into two thematic days: Caribbean Saturdays which will boast a full line-up of reggae, Latin and other Caribbean music videos, and Soul Sundays, a survey of the soul and r&b  landscapes.

In addition to all of this music video programming, Baker promises in the letter that  there are plans to add even more hours in the near future.

BET J reaches over 26 million viewer and is carried by all major cable operators and Direct TV. Curretn artists being played on BET J include Amel Larrieux, Corinne Bailey Rae, Hill St. Soul, Jaheim, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Raheem DeVaughn and Urban Mystic. Look for BET J adds to be included in the weekly programming updates on Video Static.
