BET Soul
BET Soul is an American pay television network that is controlled by the BET Networks division of ViacomCBS, which owns the network. The channel showcases R&B, funk, soul, neo soul, hip hop, jazz and Motown music from various decades.
The channel uses an automated "wheel" schedule that was introduced during the early years of MTV2. The loop repeats three times a day, starting at 6 a.m. Eastern Time, and then resetting at 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. (MTV Classic is also based on a completely automated schedule, though not on a wheel).
Originating as VH1 Soul, a spinoff of VH1, the channel moved under the editorial control of BET on December 28, 2015 as part of Viacom's ongoing restructuring of their pay-TV operations.
