‘The Breakfast Club’ is heading to BET.
Full story below…
The long-running radio show – which is anchored by Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy on Power 105.1 – has been commissioned for a new televised daily series on the cable network.
Also airing on BET’s sister network VH1, the show will air a one-hour edition at 9 am ET on weekdays beginning April 17.
‘The Breakfast Club’ will serve as BET’s first daily program since ‘106 & Park’ concluded in 2014 and its first daytime show. It will fuse interviews and key segments from the iHeartMedia-helmed radio show.
BET CEO and president Scott Mills said in a statement:
“We’re thrilled to partner with iHeartMedia to bring The Breakfast Club and their unique brand of entertainment and cultural commentary to our audiences. 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.”
Charlamagne Tha God added:
“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.”
Said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises at iHeartMedia concluded:
“What began as a daily morning radio show over a decade ago in New York City, has now become a cultural beacon across America. This new partnership with BET will expand the radio show’s reach to millions more watching on this iconic television network.”
The news comes on the heels of the show’s co-founding anchor Angela Yee leaving to launch her own syndicated radio show, ‘Way Up with Angela Yee.’
