History
The Breakfast Club was established December 2010 on Power 105.1 as a local morning show. In April 2013, Premiere Networks (WWPR-FM's corporate cousin through owner 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. Since March 2014, The Breakfast Club has been simulcast on REVOLT.
In July 2017, comedian Lil Duval joked on the show about killing a sex partner if she turned out to be a transgender woman. Host Charlamagne Tha God, while noting that killing a trans person was a hate crime, stated that women not disclosing their trans status were "taking away a person's power of choice" and "should go to jail or something". In response, trans activists, including Raquel Willis and Elle Hearns, called for the show to be boycotted or cancelled.
