In October 2015, the launch of BET France was announced for November 17, 2015. This information created a controversy because of the absence of black animators on a historical community channel.

After weeks of negotiations, an agreement was reached between the ViacomCBS and Canal groups, the Canal Group retains the BET channels, MTV Hits France and J-One.

The channel's voiceover is China Moses.
