After 14 years, BET has announced that 106 & Park will no longer be on T.V. The last episode will air December 18, 2014. However, BET plans to keep the show going digitally though BET.com.
Here’s a bit of what Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming, had to say:
“… It’s been a great 14-year run as America’s top music/variety show on cable. And now that very valuable brand is going to take its talents to the digital realm. The interactive brand you helped build, 106 & Park, is alive and well…and it’s moving to the space in which our audience NOW interacts with music the most: online. It’ll be very exciting to connect with the millions of people that are already engaged with 106 & Park and other BET digital and social media entities and bring content that will further evolve the 106 & Park brand — and enhance the overall BET Networks brand. As we transition to the digital space, we look to continue 106 & Park’s role as both a leader of and a mirror to youth culture. We’ll have more information to share about how that is to roll out very soon…”
What are your thoughts? Will you miss the show? Will you tune-in online?
