Whilst the awards show commences on Sunday 28th June, Freesat will bring its viewers an exclusive chance to witness the show on Saturday 4th July from 8.00 pm in full HD quality exclusively on the new BET HD channel (142), which will appear to Freesat subscribers from Thursday 2nd July.
Freesat’s Emma Scott said, “Being able to broadcast this year’s BET Awards exclusively on Freesat in HD is a real coup and we hope Freesat viewers will really enjoy watching some of the worlds biggest entertainers like Beyonce and Jay Z with amazing HD picture and sound quality”.
However those that can’t take advantage of HD picture quality will not miss out on viewing, and can watch the awards by tuning in to the BET channel (140) at the same time.
Oscar winner Jamie Foxx will host this year’s BET awards and more information on the awards can be found at BET.
