Of course you don't need any specialized television. You don't need TV at all. But if there's a large enough population of people with a particular taste in a particular form of entertainment (this group can be based on age, gender, culture, race, or anything), then it actually makes sense for some producer to provide entertainment to satisfy that particular niche. BET, in theory, is supposed to fulfill the otherwise unfulfilled niche for Blacks.
