The Breakfast Club is coming to BET.
The network just announced that it will be televising daily, one-hour special televised editions of the radio show starring Charlemagne Tha God and DJ Envy beginning this April.
Per BET, each episode will feature “unrivaled interviews and conversations with celebrities, artists, and thought leaders along with entertainment news and conversations punctuated with The Breakfast Club’s signature blend of honesty and humor. “
The network is partnering with iHeartRadio to bring the show to its 2023 programming lineup.
“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 and 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.”
“BET and iHeartMedia have a shared mission in engaging and entertaining lovers of hip-hop culture, so this partnership couldn’t be a better fit,” said Brian Rikuda, EVP, Enterprise Growth Strategy, Business Operations, and Programming Strategy, BET. “This addition to BET’s programming lineup will superserve our loyal audiences with fresh content from the celebrities they love and expand our reach to new daytime audiences.”
Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy are looking forward to BET’s “noteworthy and exciting introduction to daytime television.”
“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!”
“BET has been the home of so many cultural institutions, like Rap City and 106 & Park, that have shaped a generation,” said 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.”
The show will air weekdays on BET and VH1 starting April 17 at 9 a.m. ET. Episodes from the week will all be available to stream every Sunday on BET+.
Televised episodes of The Breakfast Club previously had a home at Revolt TV.
