The legendary music video countdown show 106 & Park is making a major comeback in 2025 to coincide with its 25th anniversary. This exciting news was revealed by BET President and CEO Scott Mills, who emphasized the enduring cultural impact of the show and the network’s commitment to revamping it for a modern audience.
First launched in 2000, 106 & Park quickly became a cultural phenomenon, providing a platform for hip-hop and R&B artists while connecting fans to the latest in music, entertainment, and youth culture. Its iconic status was cemented through its long run in East Harlem, New York City, where the show was filmed at NEP’s Metropolis Studios on East 106th Street and Park Avenue. The show’s title pays homage to this original location.
Scott Mills reflected on the show’s lasting influence, stating, “We understand that people love 106 & Park, and so the fact that it doesn’t work as a linear television show doesn’t mean that 106 & Park is over. We can bring 106 & Park back as a podcast. We can bring 106 & Park back as a digital experience.” This forward-thinking approach demonstrates BET’s recognition of shifting media consumption habits and its desire to reach both loyal fans and new audiences through digital platforms.
While the details of the reboot’s format and hosts are yet to be revealed, fans are eager to see how the beloved show will be reimagined. As the 25th anniversary approaches, the anticipation for the new 106 & Park continues to grow, blending nostalgic elements with exciting new content.
