The Breakfast Club Coming To BET
• BET and iHeartMedia have forged a partnership that will bring the award-winning The Breakfast Club to BET’s 2023 programming lineup. BET and VH1 will televise a one-hour special edition of The Breakfast Club, starring DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God from iHeartMedia’s WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York weekdays at 9am ET, starting Monday, April 17. Episodes from the week will all be available to stream every Sunday on BET+.
The Breakfast Club on BET marks the brand’s return to producing daily programming for the first time since 106 & Park 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,” said BET CEO & President Scott Mills. “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 longtime members of the BET and Paramount family, so we couldn’t be more excited to welcome The Breakfast Club home to BET.”
“What began as a daily morning radio show over a decade ago in New York City, has now become a cultural beacon across America,” said John Sykes, iHeartMedia President, Entertainment Enterprises. “This new partnership with BET will expand the radio show’s reach to millions more watching on this iconic television network.”
DJ Envy said, “Im looking forward to the opportunity to showcase The Breakfast Club on BET. I love what the new BET is doing!” 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.”
iHeartMedia EVP of Programming Thea Mitchem remarked, “The Breakfast Club and BET are a perfect partnership. We’re excited to team up with BET to expand the reach of The Breakfast Club as they continue to entertain, enlighten, and uplift culture.”
