BET France launched across a linear television channel alongside non-linear services including Bouygues Telecom (Canalsat), Numericable/SFR, and Free. Over time, spin-offs from sibling channels would be realigned under the BET branding; such as BET Jams (formerly known as «MTV Jams»), BET Soul (formerly known as «VH1 Soul»), SHO×BET (back then, it aired all of sci-fi films, but formerly known as «Showtime Beyond»), a premium Showtime multiplex network, and VH1 (an older-skewing spin-off of MTV that drifted into reality shows and, later, Black American-centric programming). In September 1982, BET became a full-fledged entity, independent of any other channel or programming block, though continuing to share channel space with other cable networks on local cable systems due to lack of channel room for their 24-hour schedule until the time of digital cable allowed for larger channel capacity.
