Was BET the nation's first all-horse-racing cable network?

The assertion that BET was the nation's first all-horse-racing cable network is not accurate, making "No, it wasn't" the correct choice. BET, or Black Entertainment Television, was primarily established to showcase African American culture and entertainment; horse racing was not its focus. The network is known for its music videos, original programming, and awards shows celebrating Black culture rather than providing content centered around horse racing.

Additionally, there are dedicated networks that specifically cater to horse racing enthusiasts, which would have been the first in that category if they existed prior to BET. Therefore, identifying BET as such would misunderstand its foundational goals and programming direction. This context solidifies why claiming BET as the first all-horse-racing network is incorrect, highlighting its broader role in media rather than a niche focus on horse racing.
