With her new role, Summers-Burke will oversee all creative content for BET’s linear network while continuing to lead BET Studios. BET+ was recently folded into Paramount+, so that is the streaming destination for Summers-Burke’s content.
“This is an important evolution for BET. For the first time, our studio and network creative teams will be aligned under one leader, bringing greater connection across development, production and programming, and creating one cohesive creative vision across every screen where BET content lives,” Carr wrote.
