BET cancels 106 and Park after 14 years on the air to go digital only


 
If you love hip-pop in a circle, you would be sober when you hear that "106 & Park" has been cancelled by BET.

After 14 good years on the network, BET announced the final episode of its long-running top music/variety show “106 & Park” will air its final televised show this December.

In a media statement released on Friday, Nov. 14th, BET President Stephen Hill said that 106 and Park will air its last episode December 19, 2014, and that the show would become "digital only."

"We have pride in being involved with the show that has welcomed almost every movie star, music superstar and fresh-faced talent you can name (you can even throw in a first lady). 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.” Hill said


However, the series will move exclusively to BET.com for all of 2015.   But the show will still produce special events like their annual New Year's Eve show 106 & Party and is currently being hosted by Bow Wow and Keshia Chante.
