The husband-and-wife duo have left an indelible mark on the network, which is celebrating two major milestones: its 45th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of 106 & Park.

Chatting it up with That Grape Juice at the ceremony, the pair waxed candid about the importance of the ceremony and, in particular, Hill’s role as both the spearhead of the BET Awards and 106 Park.
