With the midterm elections taking place November 4, BET has debuted ‘What’s at Stake?’ a digital series (available on BET.com, VOD, and the BET app) that takes a look at the issues that are important to young African American voters. Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a HuffPost Live and BET News host, as well as a political contributor for CNN, will host ‘What’s at Stake?’
The series will be promoted across linear and social. Each week, Dr. Hill will appear on ‘106 & Park’ – the network’s most popular show – to discuss each week’s topic. On social, #whatsatstake will be used to discuss ideas and to source topics for future episodes.The first webisode, which debuted last Thursday, discussed the issue of financial aid and featured a roundtable conversation moderated by Marc Lamont Hill with Elle Varner (Singer/Songwriter), Tamika D. Mallory (Community Activist), Orlando Watson (Communications Director for Black Media, Republican National Committee) and Corey Arvinger (Howard University Student).
