Hip Hop & RNB Fans All Over The World Have Tuned Into 106 & Park Daily For Their Daily Music Fix Since 2001 And 14 Years Later The Show Is Coming To An End .
“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.” BET’s President Stephen Hill Said In A Statement Yesterday .
106 Started Before Digital Downloading & The Internet Took Over The Way Consumers Meshed With Music . The Show Originally Started With Hosts Free And AJ Calloway Who Set A High Standard For The Future Hosts Of The Show Who Never Quite Met Up To Expectations .
The Shows Couch Has Been Graced By The Likes Of Aaliyah , J. Lo , Diddy , Tyra Banks , Lil Kim , Alicia Keys & Many More And Surely Helped Skyrocket Many Of These Artists Careers So No Question That This Show Is Going Down As A Part Of History .
Although The Television Portion Is Over , An Online Version Is Going To Being With Just The Music ,
“I’m not trying to minimize it; this is a very big change,” Hill added. “We thank all the people who have worked on the show over the years; the talented hosts, the hard-working staff, production crews and all the incredible guests we’ve had. Most of all, we’d like to humbly thank the ‘livest audience,’ both in studio and at home, who fueled this landmark TV show from the very beginning. Meet you in the digital domain.”
The Last Show Is Set To Air December 19,2014.
