This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,BET Networks' general manager Devin Griffin, a former content development exec at Netflix, talked to Business Insider about his strategy for BET Plus.
On Thursday, the Viacom-owned network launched a standalone streaming-video subscription, BET Plus, with 1,000 hours of programming for $10 per month. Griffin said he expects to be listening and tinkering a lot with the platform in its first year — something he learned from his Netflix days — to make it stand out as new and bigger players enter the space.
Griffin said consumer research led the company to that price point. There were conversations about an ad-supported model, but the company is positioning BET Plus as a more premium offering.
