Story by Inside Radio

“The Breakfast Club,” syndicated from urban “Power 105” WWPR, New York, will be simulcast on cable TV beginning in March as part of a new partnership between Clear Channel and Sean Combs’ Revolt TV. The new multi-genre music channel, co-founded in October by former MTV executive Andy Schuon, is available in about 25 million households on Comcast’s Xfinity TV and Time Warner Cable.

Launched in December 2010, “The Breakfast Club” features Charlamagne Tha God, host of MTV2’s “Guy Code,” “Girl Code,” “Guy Court” and “Charlamagne & Friends;” Angela Yee, former morning show host on Sirius XM Radio’s Shade 45 channel and a cast member from VH1's “The Gossip Game;” and veteran New York radio personality and mixer DJ Envy, host of MTV2’s “Sucker Free” and “Week in Jams.”

“Starting our day with ‘The Breakfast Club’ brings three more hours of live daily programming to Revolt’s already expansive real-time coverage of music, music news and culture each day,” Revolt president Andy Schuon said in a statement.

“Taking this award-winning ‘Power 105’ morning show and extending its reach to television reinforces Clear Channel’s position as a preeminent multiplatform entertainment company,” said Clear Channel Entertainment Enterprises president John Sykes. “We are a company that creates incredible, original content every day and we are excited to partner on this with a true visionary like Sean Combs.”
