According to reports, the show’s final broadcast will air in mid-December.

America’s No. 1 music variety show on cable television, 106 & PARK, will host its final daily on-air show on December 19, 2014, concluding its impressive 14-year run. The 106 & PARK brand remains strong and will continue to produce various specials throughout the year, including its annual New Year’s Eve show, 106 & PARTY, along with live event experiences at the BET Awards and BET Experience. In 2015, 106 & PARK looks forward to continuing its reign as the hottest hangout on one of the coolest digital platforms, BET.com. (BET)

Check out what BET’s Stephen Hill said about the show ending…

BET President of Music Programming and Specials Stephen Hill issued a statement on the show ending.

“AJ accepting Janet Jackson’s challenge to…dance. Bow Wow laying that kiss on Tyra Banks (or was it the other way around?). Free crawling around the set LIKE Catwoman WITH Catwoman Halle Berry. Julissa’s taking over Halloween as “Wonder Woman.” Keshia brilliantly bonding with First Lady Michelle Obama. Paigion flying around the world with Rihanna on a 777. Rocsi salsa dancing with Victor Cruz and putting him to shame. Shorty and Ms. Mykie’s killer rap, “The History of Justin Timberlake,” visably thrilling JT himself. Terrence beatboxing while Jamie Foxx rhymed. Tigger making Tom Cruise do the of-the-moment “motorcycle dance.”” (Statement)

He also defended the network’s decision to make the show an online-only program.

“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.” (Statement)

  1. Dumass headline. They didnt fire just Bow Wow. Anybody working for/with the show got a pink slip….

    • I haven’t looked at BET in year’s. If I’m flipping through channels and I come across a music video, I wonder to myself how in the hell people still look at this stuff

  2. That show ain’t been shit since 2001 so it was over due. Can’t believe this trash lasted this long. Bow wow had to substitute this gig for his failing rap career. Watch him go suicidal again wit his punk ass. Weak minded nigga

    • Ignoring some of your heartless jokes, you are right about this show lasting this long. To me, that show has been irrelevant for over 10 years now. Around the time the show first debuted which is around the same time Bow Wow was making noise, the show had a big part on hip hop artists promoted themselves. I would say around ’02 or ’03, 106 & park was done as having that kind of power.

  3. This show has been over in spirit a long time ago. This news would be as surprising if Bow Wow came out and said he’ll never make another album again because Bow Wow as well as 106 and park have been irrelevant for close to 10 years.

  4. These foolish negro’s in entertainment have gone mad, and they hold no knowledge of black people, or the history of our condition in the past 500 years, and that’s why most of them spend no money opening anything in blacks communities, and marry anybody but black. Little Bow has enemies too, and it’s not other entertainers either.

    • Shut up you dick… Only you know the condition of negro’s for the past 500years. Idiot

      • You are one of the masses, and the masses are asses. You don’t have a clue about this planet, or the history of it either. You are just one of the fools that reside here for the moment.

        • LMAO You are so full of yourself. Only the “Angry Negro” knows Thats your new name bytch. “Angry Negro”.

  5. Uncle tom’s, and haters of being black should never make any comments on black people holding them back. These black fools are to stupid to engage, and must be look at in time of war.

  6. The greatest gift the heavens offer you is the knowledge of ones self. In order to have knowledge of self, you have to know your history before coming to America, and their history before enslaving you. Most Black Americans only know some history as slaves, but none before that, and that is where a lot of the problems are in the lack of development in America. As a man thinks, so is he! If you think that your history is slavery on this planet, then the world has you right where they want you. The true history of black people is heavenly, gifted, and world developing, not swinging in trees in gifted Africa. The reason black people look so much different than all other races, when understood, free’s you from hating safe, and wanting to be something else. Even lost in slavery, African Americans invented the elevator, type writer, fountain pen, helicopter, refrigerator, gas mask, fire extinguisher, blood transfusion, the stop light, space camera, light bulb filament, many medicines, guitar, just to name a few. Before 1913 African Americans had over 1000 patents registered in the federal government. This is not a feel good session, but written prophecy for this time period is why blacks are in this condition, and it’s up to you to fined out what God is waiting for to make you whole again. He’s waiting, but following white people won’t set you in good standings with God.

  7. BooHoo!… The show wasn’t poppin since Aj & Free left, big tiger’s basement and H!TS was still relevant, and Terrance J. midget ass was working outside as a damn overly hyped door man greeting guest who came in and kissing asses to move on up when I was in High School.

  8. Good, I was done when they got rid of AJ and Free, it was all down hill after that. Never wartched it again to this day. Bow Wow????? all he does is run a round with a Napolean Attitude with his itty bitty behind. Good riddance!
