History

In December 2010, The Breakfast Club was established on New York's Power 105.1 (WWPR-FM) as a morning show serving the local market.[2]

In April 2013, Premiere Networks (a subsidiary of then Clear Channel Communications, now iHeartMedia) launched a weekend version of the show, Weekends with the Breakfast Club, which is a Top 20 Countdown. Four months later, The Breakfast Club was rolled out into syndication.[3]

In March 2014, The Breakfast Club began simulcast on the Revolt television network.[4]

In January 2020, The Breakfast Club was nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the category of Outstanding News/Information (Series or Special).[5]

On January 24, 2020, Mayor Marty Small of Atlantic City, New Jersey officially declared January 23 as "Breakfast Club Day" in Atlantic City.[6] DJ Envy was presented separately with an official Key to the City of Atlantic City for his "outstanding efforts to market and promote Atlantic City."[7]
