BET and iHeartMedia Team Up to Bring The Breakfast Club to TV
BET and iHeartMedia have announced a partnership that will bring the popular radio show The Breakfast Club, starring DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God, to BET programming.
A one-hour edition of the show will air from Monday to Friday on both Paramount Global-owned BET and VH1 networks. The simulcast is set to start on Monday, April 17, at 9 am ET. Fans can also stream episodes every Sunday on BET+.
The television edition of The Breakfast Club will feature interviews with celebrities, politicians, and thought leaders, along with signature segments such as Front Page News, The Rumor Report, and Charlemagne Tha God’s Donkey of the Day.
Charlamagne and DJ Envy have expressed their enthusiasm about the show’s move to BET. Charlamagne Tha God stated, “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.”
DJ Envy also shared his excitement, saying, “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 is now syndicated by Premiere Networks and airs on over 100 stations nationwide. The show was previously televised on Revolt from 2014 to 2021.
Scott Mills, BET CEO and President, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to partner with iHeartMedia to bring The Breakfast Club and their unique brand of entertainment and cultural commentary to our audiences.” He added, “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.”
