***Planet Groove*** is a music oriented talk show that premiered in late 1996[1] on [BET](/source/Black_Entertainment_Television), when the short-lived *Unreal* was cancelled.[2] This show's hostess was [Rachel Stuart](/source/Rachel_Stuart) (who originally hosted *[Caribbean Rhythms](/source/Caribbean_Rhythms)*). Like *[Video Soul](/source/Video_Soul)*, the show had a primetime slot, airing from 8PM-10PM (Eastern Time) 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 (Eastern). 1998 saw a decrease in hours, going from two hours to one.

## Cancellation

With a decrease in popularity, the show was cancelled in 1999. *Planet Groove* was somewhat revived when BET launched *[106 & Park](/source/106_%26_Park)* in 2000. *106 & Park* was a top-ten video countdown show that aired live every weekday in the United States and Japan. It was cancelled in 2014.
