Could ‘106 & Park‘ be making a comeback? According to BET, it is highly likely and happening just in time for the show’s 25th anniversary.
The original series premiered on September 11, 2000, and aired for over a decade before signing off in 2014 and featured a daily live countdown, live performances, and interviews.
The show spotlighted countless artists and helped launch the careers of artists such as Chris Brown, B2K, Ashanti, Bow Wow, and many more throughout the 2000s.
It also launched the careers of its fan-fave hosts, Free Marie, AJ Calloway, Terrence J, Rocsi Diaz, Julissa Bermudez, and more!
While the show went off air in 2014, it has come back for various specials over recent years including coverage at the BET Awards.
Now, BET CEO Scott Mills is teasing that the show might be back in a more permanent format.
Mills revealed the news during a recent interview while promoting the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
“People love 106 & Park,” Mills stated. “The fact that it doesn’t work as a linear television show doesn’t mean it’s over. We can bring 106 & Park back as a podcast, as a digital experience.”
Mills hinted at an updated version tailored to the digital era. “We are evolving what 106 & Park will look like in 2025 because it does have that very important role,” he explained. “We’ve got a number of really exciting executions. We’re approaching the 25th anniversary of 106 & Park as well, so there’ll be some things that y’all will really be excited about.”
It’s not clear if any of the past hosts will be part of the revival in its new format(s), but we’re definitely here for it!
