It's eventually happened! Crazy but true. The awards will be airing live for the first time this year.
They've always aired days after the event and TVSA has complained about it year after year. Finally they've fixed the problem.
The awards take place on Sunday, 23 June 2019 at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles and will air live on BET on DStv at 02h00 (CAT) on Monday, 24 June.
The broadcast will start with a red carpet pre-show at 00h00. The ceremony will be followed by a post-show.
The delayed broadcast will air on BET on the same day - at 20h00, starting with the pre-show.
