Cam Newton’s BET+ Show “106 & Sports” Canceled After One Season

Topic / Subject
BET+ canceled “106 & Sports” after eight episodes, and the network confirmed there won’t be additional seasons.

TL;DR
BET+ pulled the plug after one short season. The network confirmed there are no more seasons coming, but hasn’t publicly detailed the “why” in the cited reporting.

Key Details

  • The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports BET+ canceled “106 & Sports” after eight episodes.
  • Awful Announcing reports BET confirmed it “will not produce additional seasons,” and noted the season will remain available across BET platforms.
  • AJC reports the show was co-hosted by Cam Newton and Ashley Nicole Moss and was shot in Atlanta.
  • Reporting cited does not include detailed viewership metrics or a deeper explanation beyond the cancellation confirmation.

Breakdown
“106 & Sports” had a clear pitch: take the legacy-brand halo of “106” and remix it into a sports-meets-culture talk show. On paper, it’s a lane BET should own.

But the reality is streaming budgets are tighter, and talk formats live or die by consistency, clips, and audience habit. Eight episodes and done usually signals one of two things: the numbers weren’t there, or the strategy shifted fast.

BET’s confirmation (per Awful Announcing) makes it official-official, and the note about the season staying up reads like a quiet wrap, not a “we’ll revisit later.”

Without hard metrics, the cancellation becomes a bigger question about what BET+ wants to prioritize next—scripted, unscripted, sports-adjacent, or none of the above.

What to Watch Next

  • Whether Cam Newton or Ashley Nicole Moss address the cancellation directly.
  • Any reporting on BET+’s broader programming direction for 2026.
  • If the “sports meets culture” concept pops up elsewhere in a different format.

Comment
Should BET+ keep trying “sports meets culture” shows, or is that lane better left to YouTube and podcasts?
