Beginning Monday, April 17th at 9 am, BET and its sister network VH1 will air a one-hour version of Premiere Networks’ “The Breakfast Club.” This programming move is significant for BET, as it hasn’t aired a daily program since “106 & Park” wrapped in 2014.
“We’re thrilled to partner with iHeartMedia to bring ‘The Breakfast Club’ and their unique brand of entertainment and cultural commentary to our audiences,” enthused BET CEO & president Scott Mills in a statement. “We recognize the show’s influence and popularity, and we are confident that the partnership will be meaningful to our viewers and to our partners. Hosts Charlamagne and DJ Envy are long time members of the BET and Paramount family, so we couldn’t be more excited to welcome The Breakfast Club home to BET.”
“The Breakfast Club” was simulcast on Revolt until 2021, and DJ Envy is excited about the new TV home of the show, which will feature interviews and benchmarks from the nationally syndicated radio program. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to showcase The Breakfast Club on BET,” said DJ Envy. “I love what the new BET is doing!”
Charlamagne Tha God also appreciates the significance of the new platform.
“BET has been the home of so many cultural institutions, like Rap City and 106 & Park, that have shaped a generation. Those shows laid the foundation for The Breakfast Club to stand on and grow into the cultural institution that we have become. We look forward to carrying on the tradition.”
“What began as a daily morning radio show over a decade ago in New York City, has now become a cultural beacon across America,” noted iHeartMedia President Entertainment John Sykes. “This new partnership with BET will expand the radio show’s reach to millions more watching on this iconic television network.”
