BET’s flagship show ends 14 year run and moves with the times.

After 14 seasons as BET’s number-one rated show, 106 & Park will air its final episode on December 19.

All endings are only beginnings, and so the show will switch to a digital-only format in 2015 on BET.com. Alongside this BET has announced that 106 & PARK will also continue to produce specials throughout the year including its famed New Year’s Eve show.

Stephen Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming and Specials, had this to say with regards to the switch in formats:

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.

You can read Hill’s full statement on the show’s website.

Earlier this year Odd Future appeared on 106 & PARK as ‘rappers’.
