"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. "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.

"This new partnership with BET will expand the radio show's reach to millions more watching on this iconic television network."

"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 Breakfast Club and BET are a perfect partnership," said Thea Mitchem, iHeartMedia's Executive VP of Programming. "We're excited to team up with BET to expand the reach of The Breakfast Club as they continue to entertain, enlighten, and uplift culture."
