NEW YORK - BET starts a weekly news program tonight described as a cross between Keith Olbermann and Bill Maher with a black perspective.

Called The Truth With Jeff Johnson, the program, telecast at 11 p.m. Fridays, stars a BET personality who has also been an activist for the NAACP and People for the American Way. Its debut is timed for the Democratic National Convention.

BET, the most-watched network aimed at blacks, will also show Barack Obama's speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination live on Aug. 28, as will its competitor TV One; neither will show John McCain's acceptance at the Republican convention the next week.
