Charlamagne & DJ Envy Comment On The Move To BET
“BET has been the home of so many cultural institutions, like Rap City and 106 & Park, that have shaped a generation,” says Charlamagne Tha God. “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.”
DJ Envy also adds, “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to showcase The Breakfast Club on BET. I love what the new BET is doing!”
The Breakfast Club started as a morning radio show on New York City’s Power 105.1 with former co-host Angela Yee. It is now syndicated by Premiere Networks on more than 100 stations nationwide. Revolt televised The Breakfast Club from 2014 until 2021.
“We’re thrilled to partner with iHeartMedia to bring The Breakfast Club and their unique brand of entertainment and cultural commentary to our audiences,” says Scott Mills, BET CEO and President.
Mills continues, “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.”
