Okay, let's talk about the BET Awards. It’s a big deal, right? Everyone wants to see the performances, the fashion, and all the awkward acceptance speeches.
And then there's the question that plagues us all: Can I watch this glorious event on BET+? Seems logical, doesn't it?
The Streaming Struggle is Real
You'd think since it's called BET+, the BET Awards would be a no-brainer. Like, duh, of course! But… is it?
Here's where things get a little...complicated. You see, the BET Awards are usually broadcast *live* on the actual BET cable channel.
And sometimes, things that are shown on cable aren't *always* on the streaming service right away. I know, I know! It’s like they’re actively trying to make us age prematurely.
So, What's the Deal?
The truth is, whether you can *directly* watch the BET Awards live on BET+ can vary. It kind of depends on the specific year, and possibly even the phase of the moon.
Sometimes, they offer a live stream of the BET channel on BET+ for certain events. But sometimes, you might have to wait until the next day (or even longer!) to see the whole show on demand.
It's like they're holding the good stuff hostage. The suspense is killing me!
My (Possibly Unpopular) Opinion
Look, I get it. Streaming services have their own rules. But here's my hot take: if you call yourself *BET+*, you should probably, you know, *show* the BET Awards live. Just sayin'.
It's like calling a pizza place "Crusty's" and then selling only calzones. It's just… confusing. And slightly disappointing.
Isn’t the whole point of BET+ to make it easier to watch BET content? The name literally screams BET. Plus something extra.
The Options You Have (Probably)
Okay, so you desperately want to see Cardi B's outfit. What are your options?
Firstly, check the BET+ website or app *really* close to the airdate. They might announce a live stream! Hope is a beautiful thing.
Secondly, good old-fashioned cable TV. If you have it, use it! It might be the easiest way to watch it live. Embrace the retro vibe.
Third, scour the internet. (But be careful! Some sites are…sketchy.) You might find unofficial streams, but proceed with caution.
The Aftermath
Even if you miss the live broadcast, BET+ will *usually* have the BET Awards available to stream on demand shortly after. Phew!
You can catch all the best moments, the shocking wins, and the performances that will be talked about for days. (Or at least until the next awards show.)
And, hey, maybe next year, BET+ will just decide to make it easy on all of us and stream the whole thing live. A girl can dream, right?
Until then, happy viewing! Or happy searching…whatever works!
