I almost forgot-

Last week, Terrence J and Rocsi said goodbye to the 106 & Park stage after seven years. Terrence J. has a new gig hosting Entertainment Tonight (definitely a good look) and Rocsi is pursing other opportunities, like acting, I believe.

The BET crew (old and new) sent them off proper-like and made way for the new wave.  Here they are –

L-R –> Miss Mykie, Bow Wow, Paigion and Shorty Da Prince and yes, there are  four (count em, four) new hosts.

Mykel “Miss Mykie” Gray – I’m still not sure how to pronounce her first name, but this Houston native and Howard Univ. grad commands attention with a decidedly funky look (I’m loving the big hair) and infectious personality.

Bow Wow- “Mr. 106 & Park” himself is switching up the style a little bit, re-connecting with his core audience (and his peers) and keeping his name and face out in the music streets, while he collects a check and plans new moves. Can’t be mad at that.

Kimberly “Paigion” Walker- Again with a name I can’t pronounce and, well, “my name is my name.” A Detroit native, this Western Michigan Univ. grad started off as a high school reporter and turned into a local radio star. Now she’s bringing her talents to the big(ger TV) screen and a national audience. Nice.

Shorty Da Prince– This St. Louis born youngin’ who’s been in the business since he was 12 (!) was a popular radio host and industry regular before the 106 & Park gig. At 22, he’s young, eager and looks like a pleasant guy. Oh, he’s also bunned up with Paigion. Interesting.

Many congratulations to the new co-co-co-co hosts on the new opportunity- they were selected out what I can only imagine was a huge pool and it can only open more doors and make way for even greater opportunties. The real question though, is do you still watch 106 & Park? Will you?
