Viacom International Media Networks is set to launch BET in France on November 17.
The broadcaster already operates a number of channels in the country including MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Channel, and is now adding the black urban channel to its offer.
Programming on the network consists of original and acquired television series, theatrically- and home video-released movies, and mainstream rap, hip-hop and R&B music videos.
The move comes after French broadcaster Trace is enjoying success with its bouquet of urban music channels including Trace Urban and Trace Africa.
