BET Media Group, the leading multiplatform media company serving the Black community, and Pluto TV, a global leader in free streaming television, are expanding their long-standing partnership to deliver even more premium, free programming that celebrates Black culture and storytelling.
With the launch of BET Comedy Movies and the upcoming BET Christmas Movies (arriving in November), BET now offers a total of seven FAST channels on Pluto TV—cementing its position as the #1 brand serving Black audiences in the FAST space.
A Growing Slate of Channels
The expansion builds on the success of BET Tyler Perry Comedy and BET Tyler Perry Drama, which launched in June 2024 and together have already surpassed 3 billion streaming hours. Now, audiences can enjoy the following lineup of channels, each dedicated to showcasing Black excellence across film and television:

Why It Matters
“This expansion not only amplifies the stories that reflect and celebrate Black culture, but it also gives our advertising partners new ways to align with premium content in a free and easily accessible format,” said Louis Carr, President of Media Sales, BET Media Group.
By leveraging Pluto TV’s global reach and BET’s rich content library, the partnership deepens audience engagement while opening fresh opportunities for advertisers to connect with culturally meaningful content.

BET Media Group plans to continue rolling out bold FAST initiatives over the next year, further redefining how Black stories reach audiences worldwide. This alliance reflects the strength of Paramount’s ecosystem and Pluto TV’s role as the leader in free streaming television, while reaffirming BET’s commitment to celebrating Black excellence on a global scale.
