Thank you so much for posting this clip!!!

The image awards were live here
https://www.bet.com/live-tv/
You can sign in for a 24-hour free pass even if you don't have cable.
They are replaying the entire ceremony a few times on the website, and you can watch on that 24-hour pass.

I watched the Pacific Time replay of the NAACP image awards as a "live" broadcast via the BET.com website last night Feb. 23. 
("Live" as in "viewing it while it was being broadcast" on the website.)
The BTG presentation was around 15 minutes before the end of the Image Awards.

So I'm watching bet.com, Kerry Washington exits the stage, thanking Tyler Perry.
Clifton Davis and Karla Mosley begin talking (as in the twitter clip.)
They talk about the show, Karla says "Monday February 24 on CBS",
And then she she says to take a look a the clip ...
And at the point where the BTG promo shows in the twitter clip ...
BET.com cut to a commercial.

To clarify:
the original aired beginning at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific. Then it replayed at 8pm Pacific.

In the 8pm Pacific Time Feb 22 streaming of the Image Awards on BET.com, they cut the BTG promo. Karla introduced the promo and it went directly to commercial.  The BTG promo was cut. 

They're going to replay the entire Image Awards ceremony again a few times today (Feb. 23)  both on the BET cable/satellite network and on bet.com website. 
I will check again to see if the promo is shown.

Hear, hear!  BTG was one of the only things I was looking forward to in 2025, and it's already been a long year for me, personally and otherwise.  But I am still so excited for this.  MVJ is one of the only soap writers still with us whom I would be excited to see get an opportunity like this.  Despite my fears about what's left of the industry and the broader climate, everything I've seen from Val Jean and the other creatives so far gives me hope. 

I have spent some down time this weekend catching up on this entire thread.  I took tomorrow off from work, and will be watching the premiere in real time.  And I will likely be subscribing to Paramount Plus afterward.

I'm just glad I have a reason to USE Paramount +!  It comes free with my Walmart + subscription, but until BTG, I never had any reason to watch anything on it.

FYI, low-income persons willing to submit proof can get
a half-price WalmartPlus subscription that includes free ParamountPlus (without Showtime).

First month is free but you submit your debit/credit card now, and they automatically deduct after the first month.

ParamountPlus *without* Showtime allows you to stream shows later the same day or the next day, after it firs airs on CBS.
ParamountPlus *with* Showtime costs more but allows you to watch *live*, as well as featuring stuff from Showtime etc.

If anyone is concerned about Walmart's DEI (or non-DEI) policies, well,
I personally chose to get Walmart Plus, just to get free paramountplus,
to watch BTG and because ParamountPlus has every single Star Trek episode of every StarTrek series (except Prodigy) for the past 58 years.
Star Trek is the ultimate "diversity" show, and it helps my state of mind so much.


FYI, re: WalMart
During the broadcast (stream?) of the Image Awards on bet.com last night,
the female voice announcer in the background periodically said
( *during* the broadcast and not as a commercial)
"sponsored by WalMart" ... and something about WalMart supporting Black businesses?
Which was interesting considering all the recent news reports about WalMart discontinuing its DEI policies. Did WalMart change their minds? 
Or was this something long-ago scripted for the Image Awards show?

Re: Procter & Gamble - P&G had a special segment during the NAACP Image Awards highlighting their commitment to HBCU.  It was sort of a commercial for P&G but not really. Although they want to sell their products to students, it was more than that.
This is what the segment talked about:

My better half and I subscribed for a few years to watch The Good Fight and Evil.  We were always years behind on the former—and ultimately gave up on the latter—because we spent more time trying to get it to play on our TV than we did watching.  Comcast and/or Apple always seemed to be sabotaging it.  We tried the app that came preloaded on the cable box, Apple TV, and even projecting from the computer display; there was always some glitch.

He won't be watching BTG, so I'll just stream it on my phone/laptop.  The one lasting improvement I found when I watched GH last year for the first time in decades was the ability to stream it with no ads via Hulu.  Where was my iPhone 30 years ago?

Yes that's exactly what I saw on bet.com.
Karla said let's take a look, but then it cut off and went to commercial


Okay so I watched again just now the full program here:
 https://www.bet.com/naacp-image-awards/episodes/5tov9n/56th-naacp-image-awards-56th-naacp-image-awards-ep-2

Same thing.  BET cut it off when Karla said Let's take a look at P&G's commitment to "Widen the Screen".
Then they abruptly cut to the next section of the awards ceremony.
So anyone watching on BET.com  would *not* have seen the BTG promo and wouldn't have had a clear idea of what Karla and Clifton were describing.

--------------------------


The whole thing including the promo is here, which I wasn't able to see in my viewing because bet cut it off.   I guess this aired on CBS or paramount, or one of the other services?

@janea4old the whole segment aired during the original broadcast of the Awards on CBS, BET, etc but I’m guessing the promo video portion was meant as an ad similarly to how the Grammy’s will debut videos for artists sequenced in with the show but not include them in the rerun edits. That moment with Kerry Washington is one of the most viral of the night so it was a good marketing spot for the show

Honestly, I wouldn't mind that. Why I haven't been the biggest fan of his since 2014 that does not take away from the times when he has been good on the shows I watched (OLTL, GH, the beginning of his DAYS run).

 

 

Thank you for this. I see that when my system was down *cough*shadylandlord*cough* that my Paramount Plus had been removed. Since I'm not a big fan of the CBS player, I'll use other means to watch if need be. At least for now, I can watch BTG live around my work schedules. And I have NO complaints on that.

I could see RC doing that, too. *shivers* RC vs Eric Braden would be a fight for the ages though. 

 

Now a little over 24 hours. Exciting!!!

    • I saw a new BTG promo during Watson tonight (Sunday May 11).   I don't remember what I saw (and I wouldn't say here on the nonspoiler thread anyhow). I know only that it was different from the "next on BTG" preview at the end of Friday's episode. If anyone catches the new promo, please post it on the spoiler thread.
    • I hope GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial I'd love to have Scott, Robert, Holly, Rose Kelly, Mike Webber, Blackie Parish  & Claudia Phillips return for the episodes
    • As requested by @BoldRestless the 1976 story summary of Y&R from the Daytime serial newsletter. I will post it in parts as it is quite detailed.  Pt 1 Set in Midwestern Genoa City, The Young and the  Restless, which premiered four years ago, is the story of the Brooks and Foster families. Jennifer and Stuart Brooks are, on the surface, the perfect couple, blessed with four beautiful daughters, but under the veneer of a first impression lie cracks in the facade. Jennifer had become dissatisfied with her marriage after the birth of her oldest daughter, Leslie, and had left Stuart with the idea of returning to her former fiancé, Dr. Bruce Henderson. After later reconciling with Stuart, Jennifer found she was pregnant with Laurie, and she has lived all these years with the suspicion that Laurie may be Bruce’s daughter. Leslie  has recovered from a nervous breakdown and is now a famous concert pianist, happily married to former Surgeon now newspaperman Brad Elliot.  . Chris Brooks is married to Dr. William (Snapper) Foster, and Peggy, the youngest Brooks daughter, is a college student. Jennifer recently left Stuart a second time, considering again a life with Bruce, but the discovery of a lump in her breast followed by a mastectomy for cancer has again changed her priorities.   Laurie, meanwhile, has been dating Dr. Mark Henderson, Bruce’s son.  Snapper’s mother, Liz Foster, had finally accepted the fact that her husband, Bill, had abandoned their family and had had him declared dead when he suddenly walked back into their lives, suffering from emphysema. Jill, Liz and Bill’s only daughter, was married to Phillip Chancellor, the father of her unborn child, just hours before his death. Phillip obtained a quick Caribbean divorce upon learning of his impending fatherhood and was badly injured when his now-ex-wife, Kay, meeting him at the airport upon his return, lost control of the car when he told her of his plans to marry Jill. After Phillip’s death Kay vowed to void his marriage to Jill and deprive Jill of |his estate. Kay’s son from her first marriage, Brock Reynolds, supports Jill in her claim, but Kay, a former alcoholic, cannot accept the idea of having lost Phillip to her former paid companion. Greg Foster, Jill and Snapper’s brother, is an attorney working for Legal Aid, where Chris is his assistant. Upon learning that her daughter Lauralee has become engaged to Dr. Bruce Henderson’s son Mark,Jennifer Brooks tells Mark she suspects he and.Laurie are half brother and sister. She explains she spent a week with Bruce after a bad fight with her husband, Stuart, when she believed their marriage was over. A blood test confirms her fears—Stuart cannot be Laurie’s father. Keeping what he’s learned to himself,Mark painfully breaks his engagement to Laurie and leaves town. Laurie is shattered by this, unable to understand what went wrong. But soon she begins to put bits and pieces together and confronts hermother, asking what she said to Mark that drove him away. Jennifer finally tells her daughter the truth and stands helplessly as Laurie turns to run to her father for comfort and suddenly realizes he’s not her father—even this her mother has taken from her. Laurie follows Mark to Cleveland and tries to persuade him that they can still be married—they need not have children—only to be hurt again when Mark sadly tells her their love would become dirty and they would wind up hating themselves and each other. Heart broken, Laurie agrees to let him go. Jennifer has recently left Stuart, due to growing frustration in her marriage, and had planned to marry Bruce, but discovery of breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy caused her to reconsider her plans. When Stuart earnestly pleaded with her to come home to him and their daughters after her recovery, she agreed, but now her guilt over Laurie’s situation has caused her to waver. When Laurie confides the truth to her older sister Leslie, Les makes it clear to her mother that she finds the idea that Jennifer would think of returning to her father contemptible. But Brad Elliot,Leslie’s husband, warns her to hide her feelings or her father will notice and ask for an explanation.Jennifer gives in to Stuart’s wishes, and he welcomes her home as his wife again. Leslie has had two more piano-concert triumphs and basks in the attention of the music world, as well as that of Lance Prentiss, a wealthy industrialist who has been following her career with avid interest. Les invites Lance home to Genoa City, hoping the dynamic, handsome young titan of business can help distract Laurie from her heartbreak. With the birth of Jill Foster’s baby imminent, Kay Chancellor offers Jill one million dollars for the child —fathered by her late husband, Phillip Chancellor. After Phillip’s death Kay had the divorce ruled invalid and voided Jill’s marriage, making her unborn child illegitimate. But now, finally acknowledging Jill’s baby as Phillip’s, Kay tells Jill she can give the child the Chancellor name and social position, as well as the love she had for Phillip. Jill, torn by love for Phillip and his baby and the extreme financial need of her family (Jill’s father is dying of emphysema and needs a warm, dry climate), realizes that Kay can give her child everything he could need, things Jill could never provide, and agrees to Kay’s terms.  Jill’s son, Phillip Chancellor Foster, is born prematurely a few days later. Liz Foster, Jill’s mother, is horrified that Jill would “sell” her son to Kay, and Jill’s father, Bill, is horrified that it is concern for his health that led Jill to this arrangement. He would rather die than give up his grandson. But when Jill, who has avoided seeing her child, has to take physical custody of him in order to deliver him to Kay, she is suddenly unable to give him up.

        haha you did good explaining all that. So basically Monday's episode is gonna be what was suppose to be Friday's episode. Even though CBS and PPlus uploaded Monday's Aka Friday's show before they deleted it? LOL
    • I do mean those two, but when I download them, the Chris from Greece version is from RTL with subtitles and starts with a doctor greeting Stephanie and the rsclassicfanfanforever version is from Videoland, no subtitles and starts with Tawny and Becky? Sorry if this was already discussed. Is the Chris version merged with another episode? That one is longer.
    • B&B episode Episode #9521 (Season 38, Episode 162) was scheduled for Thurs. May 8. It was officially preempted, although some areas saw it, (Some areas saw the Steffy/Finn/Monaco rerun on May 8.) cbs.com and PPlus had 9521 (S38,E162) uploaded on May 8, despite it being preempted from that date, and they never took it down. B&B officially aired #9521 (S38, E162) on broadcast CBS television on Fri. May 9. B&B officially postponed the next episode #9522 (Season 38, Episode 163) to air on Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus had #9522 (S38, E163) uploaded Fri. May 9, despite it not airing yet on broadcast tv until Mon. May 12. cbs.com and PPlus still had the early upload of 9522/S38,E163 available on their websites for about a day and a half, LOL,... (even though it doesn't air until May 12)... and then they finally removed it from their websites.   ALSO... at the same time as removing 9522/S38,E163 . . . .  cbs.com and PPlus fixed the website label for #9521 (S38, E162), which had displayed as "May 8" but now correctly says "May 9". --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Canada "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded #9521 (S38, E162) on Thurs. May 8, because they didn't realize at first that it was preempted in USA. Eventually ctv.ca Canada deleted the early upload of S38,E162. But then... "ctv.ca" Canada didn't re-upload #9521 (S38, 162), even after it aired in the USA officially on May 9. And apparently they were afraid to upload anything new, so for a couple of days, the most recent episode available  on ctv.ca was Wed. May 7,  #9520 (S38, E161). Finally  "ctv.ca" Canada uploaded *BOTH* of these: #9521 (S38, 162) (USA official airdate Fri. May 9)... And #9522 (S38, 163) (USA official airdate Mon. May 12)... listing it as as Monday May 12 and it's still on their website. --------------------------- Meanwhile, B&B in Australia: "10play.com.au" fast-track Australia seemed to know what to do. They waited until 9521 aired in USA officially before uploading to their site. They haven't uploaded 9522 yet. (I don't have access to view Australia episodes, but I can see their menu. I kept checking their website multiple times over the past few days, and I saw the thumbnails and episode descriptions.)  ------------------- That was extremely confusing for me to type up. I probably made some errors. LOL.
    • The one that Christos did would be the RTL Lounge recording (without end credits and subtitles) and the one @rsclassicfanforever did would be the Videoland version with end credits and no subtitles). Is that what you mean by two versions? @BoldRestless
