Ever since its inception in 1983, BET — or the Black Entertainment Network — has been a go-to television channel for music, movies, TV shows and specials, with no shortage of memorable moments over the years.

Home to the annual BET Awards (and the BET Hip-Hop Awards), the NAACP Image Awards, and the Soul Train Awards, among others, BET also aired the popular 106 & Park music countdown show for 14 celebrated years. The channel was also home to original series like Being Mary Jane, ComicView, Bobby Jones Gospel, American Gangster and The Game, amassing millions of viewers each week for the drama and laughs.

These days, BET continues to be a top destination for entertainment, with hit series like Sistas, The Family Business, Tyler Perry’s Assisted Living, Ms. Pat Settles It and more. The good news: with fewer people actually owning a cable box these days, you can now watch BET online without cable.
