I read about it on AOL yesterday. I also read recently that AJ had a pilot with UPN, I'm not sure if it was picked for a mid-season slot, plus he already left the show once before, so his departure was no surprise. Free is on the cover of King magazine for next month's edition, and when I glanced at it, I saw something about her leaving the show as well. I never watch the show very much, or BET at all for that matter since they changed their programming a lot over the years. I think TV One has the potential to be a much better network than BET, but BET has the Viacom cash behind them, and TV One needs more coverage and more original (and better) programming.

Could this be a matter of ecomonics??
Could A.J. and Free have been asking for more money than BET was willing to pay them and the network simply decided that they could find a new host(ess) or co-hosts for "106th And Park" who would work for less money??

I have read elsewhere that Free has signed a recording contract with Def Jam. She is an aspiring rapper and had been persuing that before 106 & Park. A.J. and Free have a loyal fanbase and only time will tell if the viewers will accept the replacements, whoever they may be.
