Cita's World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cita's World was an American music video show that aired on BET. It was the first such show to feature a virtual reality character as the hostess named Cita. The show ran from 2000-2002. The show was originally named Jam Zone (when it was created in 1997).

In between videos, Cita would "talk" to the viewers, and answer viewer mail. She would also offer her opinions on current events. She was voiced secretely by Miss Kittie

The show received heavy criticism from the Black community, mainly because of Cita's presentation. Many felt that Cita showed a negative portrayal of Blacks, with a loud, opinionated persona, and short-cut outfits (despite being a computer image). BET finally cancelled the show in 2002.
