It’s the magic of “106 & Park," but the 2025 sports version.

BET is introducing a new countdown sports program hosted by former NFL star and podcaster Cam Newton and seasoned journalist Ashley Nicole Moss.

The show is described as "an unfiltered celebration where fandom, fun, and fearless opinions intersect. Each episode delivers a vibrant blend of authentic athlete insights and unfiltered fan energy, making it the most culturally resonant sports talk show on television," according to a press release.

"This is not just a show about sports, it's a show about the culture that makes the game," the network said.

Is '106 & Sports' a spinoff?

"106 & Sports" is a rendition of "106 & Park," BET’s beloved daily music countdown show that became a launching pad for rising stars in the industry.

The show, which had a slew of notable hosts including rapper Bow Wow, launched in 2000 and came to an end in 2014.

In the press release, BET Media Group’s Executive Vice President of Unscripted Programming and Development, Tiffany Lea Williams, says "106 & Sports" will serve as a reimagining of "the cultural heartbeat of '106 & Park' through the lens of sports."

Similar to its predecessor, "106 & Sports" will be pre-taped in front of a live studio audience. Earlier this year, BET CEO Scott Mills teased that a project was in the works during an interview on "The Breakfast Club."

"We are evolving what '106 & Park' would look like in 2025 because it does have that very important role," Mills said ahead of the show’s 25th anniversary.
