And now, we have been proven right, with BET signing a major deal for your favorite College Hill students to hit Microsoft Xbox 360s.

In a new press release obtained by LALATE NEWS, “BET Networks today announced that it will add a broad selection of full-length BET television shows for download on Xbox LIVE, the online games and entertainment network on Xbox 360. Effective immediately, a growing catalog of episodes from BET’s top-rated programming will be available for download from Xbox LIVE, including, but not limited to, COLLEGE HILL 4, AMERICAN GANGSTER and COMIC VIEW, with IRON RING featuring a free download of the premiere episode to consumers for one full week.”

Sweet!

“This partnership is a natural fit for our audience. African Americans and particularly BET viewers significantly over-index in console gaming consumption,” said Denmark West, President of Digital Media. BET Networks. “We are looking forward to providing on the Xbox 360 console the BET programming our audience has grown to love.”

“By adding this popular programming from the BET library, our list of consumer favorites on Xbox LIVE continues to thrive,” said Ross Honey, Senior Director, Media and Entertainment Group at Microsoft. “Xbox LIVE offers more than twice the on-demand high definition content than the leading cable provider and the addition of BET helps us provide our diverse community of users more of the premium entertainment content they want.”

If you remember, in the late 1990s, LALATE’s parent Television Internet was the first to put tv content on mobile devices through a partnership with Microsoft’s Pocket PC division.
