Planet Groove


Planet Groove is a music oriented talk show that premiered in late-1996 on BET, when the short-lived Unreal was cancelled. This show's hostess was Rachel Stuart. Like Video Soul, the show had a primetime slot, airing from 8PM-10PM as a 2-hour long music video program. It also had a Top-20 countdown on Fridays as well.

Hour change/New time

In late 1997, the show's time slot was changed to 7PM-9PM. 1998 saw a decrease in hours, going from two hours to one.

Cancellation

With decrease in popularity, the show was cancelled in 1999. Planet Groove was somewhat revived when BET launched 106 & Park in 2000. 106 & Park was a top-ten video countdown show that aired live every weekday in the U.S. and Japan. It was cancelled in 2014.
