Angie Martinez Joins Power 105.1

Hats Off.

The Voice of New York has been silenced. After two decades on air, Angie Martinez resigned today from Hot 97. Before her final broadcast above, she left this message on her Instagram page.

Today I resigned from HOT97. I am grateful to the Emmis family for my time with the company and the immeasurable way that it has shaped my life. We made history together in so many ways and I will cherish those memories and my friendships forever. This was one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make but ultimately it is time to move on, to grow and to be challenged in new ways. Saying goodbye is always emotional and bitter sweet but I am extremely excited about the future. Thank you HOT97 and most importantly….the listeners… for an unimaginable journey. Today will be my last show ❤️ stay tuned…. Love, angie

On a related note, the Hot 97 Morning Show has been renamed Ebro In The Morning. No, seriously. Find out why at the 1:02:00 mark.

    wtf ???

    No surprise hot97 turning into a joke – Ebro renaming the morning show ebrointheam … Dissing chuck d … 16th in the ratings for viewers in the morning … Sinking ship. Obviously this was contentious because she’s left so abruptly … Probablaly didn’t agree with the rubbish reality tv show and the questionable choices hot97 have made recently.

    1. I thought you were joking when you mentioned EbrointheAM. Just checked it out…………good grief! smh

    2. choco-prince says:

      where do i look up ratings

    3. jinsushi says:

      What questionable choices has hot97 made?

  2. Cartune says:

    Hmm.. I wonder will she go on to another station, I actually liked Angie Martinez.

    1. Undisputed11 says:

      Power 105.1 maybe? Now that would be something.

      1. polopolo1 says:

        Lol looks like u were right, ctfu

  3. Dashing28 says:

    This is too abrupt. There’s a story here that we’re not hearing…

    1. wow says:

      And i’m guessing you want to know so can tell all your buddies over brunch…. smh. i hope your a woman.

      1. Mike Markidis says:

        damnnn homie lmao THE ETHER!

      2. Dashing28 says:

        Nah. I’m just a guy who grew up in NYC listening to Hot97 everyday (that’s my word). If it was all sweet the station should have given her a real sendoff. Get Jay, Ye, and a bunch of big names to honor her and what she brought to the station and to the culture for almost 20 years.

        Angie and Flex are Hot97. That shit is an institution. She was the best radio personality on the best rap station in the world during the best era of rap on the radio.

        And then she just up and leaves in one day no explanation? I’m not ashamed to admit I wanna know what happened. I think it makes me a real supporter of the culture.

        But it’s a RR comment section so we’re all 7 year olds making gay jokes, I get it…

          1. theOtherAndyitwaru says:

            Im from Toronto so I didn’t grow up with hot97 as an institution like other people, but this seems like a big deal to me as a hip hop fan, and Im sure theres shenanigans on this one

          OWNED… WHEN TROLLING GOES WRONG!

        3. jinsushi says:

          I respect everything u just said and I agree 100%. These cats act like hot 97 flex and Angie didn’t bring them rocafella freestyles lox nas dipset gunit even ASAP did a flex freestyle. Power105 ain’t never did shit but breakfast club. Rappers go there and they don’t spit freestyles they joke around and gossip with charlamagne and Angela Yee. They good but they not legendary in hiphop.

    2. SmoothG718 says:

      Maybe what Dame Dash was saying about flex being 46 in the same slot for 20+ years had her thinking

      1. KENDRICK_EQUALS_2PAC says:

        LMAO!!! CLASSIC. DAME COOKED HIM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0bRg4QF4Rk

        1. KD says:

          Fart on those bars. Spam ass link.

      2. cifrank282 says:

        So you make a lateral move….What they do offer her part ownership of Clear Channel??

    3. Sean Power says:

      better job more cash

    4. GreenBergs says:

      this some traitor shit …

    5. GreenBergs says:

      these hoes aint loyal…

  4. titus tucker says:

    Angie gone but Flex still there?

    1. cain45 says:

      flex is a legend stop hating old man

      1. Bo says:

        Flex lost legend status years ago.

        1. RapReal says:

          You don’t lose legend status you fucking idiot. I don’t like Flex either, but you’re a fucking idiot.

        2. jinsushi says:

          What radio dj is more legendary than funk flex???

      2. Loopay says:

        Flex is SUPER annoying! Another Thot97 fool that disrespects legends!

  5. Plan42 says:

    There is definitely more to the story than what’s being let on.

    1. wow says:

      you and Dashing28 are moist!

      1. BLAQMENCH says:

        Everything must be Moist, because I too wanna know why Angie just abruptly Resigned!

  6. ... says:

    Aye Ebro and Rosenberg are killing hot 97… they too old anyway…. like all the other 35+ reality TV stars… lets get some young blood on the tv/radio waves…. 30 and under…. let us decide where we want hip hop to go

    1. jinsushi says:

      Rosenberg is the only person on NYC radio that actually breaks new artist from NYC and plays real hiphop. WTf r u talkin bout.

  7. DaGod says:

    I wonder if she really is going to Power 105?

  8. J_Red says:

    She’s such a legend

  9. EvenOdd says:

    Some shit went down. Something about resigning and doing her last show within hours of each other is suspect.

  10. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

    FINALLY!!!! NO MORE OF THOSE CORNY ANNOYING JAY-Z INTERVIEWS!!!! GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  11. The Rock says says:

    New York Niggas on twitter was actin like Jeter just played his last game, its just Angie Martinez

    1. Lol says:

      Lmao nah but it’s basically the same

    2. GetReal says:

      lmaoooo thats what im saying i couldn’t stand her nut hugging jay z interviews and I’m a fan of jay lol

      1. jinsushi says:

        Yea but u see she was the one that got the jayz interviews tho. So flex and Angie might dick ride but jay always come thru to them. Jay finally did breakfast club this last yr. so the relationship she has wit jayz is golden in radio. U only as good as who I can work with. That’s why 105 interviews ppl from big stars to YouTube stars, they need the help hot97 is above that

  12. el jim chapo guzman says:

    that’s cold 20 years of work end like this.

  13. michaelv says:

    The season finale for This Is Hot 97 season 2?

  14. DA90s says:

    CYPH SAVE YOURSELF. Follow your comedy because now your part of a wrestling show! SO? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN HOT 97 AND THE JEWS BRING THE HAMMER DOWN ON YOU? BROTHER!

    1. 4080 says:

      Cypher is the last cat left on there with any hip hop credibility. Flex lost his when he let drake “freestyle” with a cell phone

  15. Strong Enough says:

    she finally took jay-z out her mouth

  16. ben says:

    Damn end of an era Im getting old

  17. Billy Kincaid says:

    ANGIE’S ON POWER 105.1!!

  18. teenage millionaire says:

    Smart move Angie Martinez …..Ebro fucked up HOT 97 …. wow EBRO just lost his best team member to the competition. This is what happens when the PD renames the morning show Ebrointheam and starts to insult Chuck D……

    1. Nae says:

      Ebro is doing way to much. I was listening to Hot 97 the other day, and Ebro was dominating the conversation, and he was “correcting” the other radio personalities when they didn’t agree with him. Hot 97 needs to either give Ebro his own show, or put a muzzle on him. He wants to be famous so badly, but refuses to admit it. The way he and Rosenberg came at Chuck D was straight up disrespectful, and they call themselves “Hip Hop”.

  19. EricHeisenberg says:

    what a power move. she is in the winners circle. Congrats.

  20. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

    JUDAS!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    1. Brian B.Dot™ Miller says:

      its business, u minimum wage motherfucker.

      1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

        COMIN’ FROMA GUY WHO LIVES IN AN APARTMENT THAT’S THE SIZE OF MY CAR GARAGE!!!!

        …………HA!!!! SHE’S STILL A JUDAS!!!! I’M THINKIN’ PROGRAM DIRECTOR OR SOMETHIN’ MORE OF A CORPORATE POSITION!!!! I GUESS “MOVING ON TO A NEW CHALLENGE” TO HER IS TO GO ACROSS THE STREET FOR MORE MONEY TO BASCIALLY DO THE SAME THING!!!! ENHANCING HER ACCOUNT, BUT NOT HER CLOUT!!!! #BADBUSINESS

        DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

      2. TheTruthHurts says:

        Business shouldn’t have you turn your back on the team you’ve been riding with for years. Quitting is one thing but going to Power is something else entirely. If that’s how you do business B.Dot then that’s some shady shit.

  21. @JasonWllms says:

    i knew something was up. salute to Angie. Power must have came through with an offer of like 250k a year. $$$$ talks…bull shit walks. I feel like Ebro is becoming too much a dominant personality over at Hot 97. 5 years ago i had no idea who he was, now he is like the biggest personality over there (behind FLEX)

    1. The Incredible Creation says:

      shiiiit, the nigga more popular than Flex at this point lol Flex just got some popularity again from that Dame shit and now that’s cooled off… smh

  22. DamnItMan says:

    These hoes ain’t loyal

    1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

      …………..HA!!!!

      DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  23. TheTruthHurts says:

    There’s definitely some respect to be had for Angie for her overall career and generally not being a bad person like people like DJ Vlad. That said that’s fucked up for her to switch teams entirely. I understand more money and maybe other reasons but as far as a look for her name, all that can be said is these hoes ain’t loyal.

  24. Extra Domus says:

    jumping ship that quick to the competition is never a good look for your career

  25. veesky says:

    Zamn. These hosts ain’t loyal…(sorry, couldn’t resist)

    1. 412 Center says:

      Hosts ain’t loyal? Management ain’t loyal.

      1. veesky says:

        I love Angie Mar. It was just a joke.

  26. GreenBergs says:

  27. PTK says:

    radio is a ruthless business

  28. Yamzz says:

    She still better drop the rest of that Pac interview!!!

  29. Esquire says:

    Angie made it seem like she was getting a daytime talk show or some shit “it is time to move on, to grow, and to be challenged in new ways.” She still doing the same shit but across the street

    1. Elproblemo Djblast says:

      ya but know she is syndicated, but then again with everybody having internet everybody is syndicated so ya i guess ur right

  30. Michael Ibbett says:

    Who was in the 2-6 slot before? Did someone get fired?

    1. madninja says:

      Cherry Martinez got fired. Prostyle moved up to 10-2.

      1. Michael Ibbett says:

        Ah…thanks

    2. jinsushi says:

      Cherry Martinez was their weak ass attempt at an Angie knock off until they got the real thing.

  31. Oceans22 says:

    These hoes ain’t.. Nvm

  32. RDub says:

    EBRO RUINS EVERYTHING! That radio station should have been in Angie’s name decades ago and it’s going to EBRO. Who’s dick is he sucking? A travesty for HOT97. Power 105.1 will be #1 in NY for sure now.

    1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

      DON’T BLAME EBRO!!!! BLAME ANGIE MARTINEZ WHO HAS NO BUSINESS SENSE OR LEVERAGE!!!! SHE’S GOING ACROSS THE STREET TO DO THE SAME THING!!!! SOME PEOPLE ARE LEADERS AND SOME PEOPLE ARE JOBBERS LIKE B.DOT!!!! HA!!!!

      DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

      1. MR. UNDI$PUTED THE MOGUL says:

        OR SOME PEOPLE ARE AMATEUR SCUMBAG CUM GUZZLING LOSERS LIKE YOUR SELF!!!!!!!

        1. THE REAL mac DIESEL says:

          WHERE YOU BEEN AT TROLL BOY??? YOU AIN’T TROLL ME IN WEEKS!!!! HA!!!! BUM ASS NIGGA!!!!

          DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  33. The Incredible Creation says:

    crazy… rap is wrestling.. radio is wrestling.. everything wrestling lol who would’ve ever thought? http://alltheparticulars.blogspot.com/

  34. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Dame made angie flip the switch to power 105.1

  35. West West says:

    In a not growing business like Radio you can’t win only by better shows sometimes you need to buy yourself some market share. That is what clear channel did! Get you a highly known and good working property out of your competitor and then syndicate it like they did with the breakfast club. Angie is known in the urban market of radio around the country not just in NY. Clear channel doesn’t want to pay too many personalities and thats the reason for the syndication of the breakfast club. Same shit about to happen with Angie. And for sure she wanted more money from HOT97 but they can’t match it because it is just NY. But with a syndication you can pay her more but still not as much as if you would pay the dozens of other personalities in the different regions! #Thot97AintBigEnough #ClearChannelPaysMore #SiriusWouldBeTheMoreElegantMove

    1. jinsushi says:

      She coulda stayed at hot97 and did Sirius at the same time. Shit cipha and Angela Yee was on Sirius together b4 power105

  36. @SxlxJxnes says:

    I blame VH1.. if they made me do that bum ass scripted show i would of quit too! Something way bigger here then we know about. Angie is one of the biggest names in radio personalities period. Only time will tell..

    Angies gone, but mister cee still there. lmao.

  37. Son. This is so insane but I know Power 105.1 had to have backed up the BRINKS TRUCK to Ang AND she gets a 5 hour slot? SHEESH. Always & still will be the #VoiceOfNEWYORK!

    Salute. #TIMELESS

  38. SmoothG718 says:

    LeBron started this

  39. Loopay says:

    I have to say that interviews on Hot97 are some of the most poorly conducted conversations I have EVER heard. Personalities like Flex, Ebro and so on love to make the interview more so about them, as evident by the way that they constantly speak over guests and go on LONG rants about THEIR personal beliefs. NO ONE CARES about you dipshit! The last straw was when the vanilla faced man disrespected one of Hip Hops legends. Out ya go Thot97.

    1. Darth Plagueis says:

      Whoever you are, can you please have your own blog?
      Every last word you wrote is bible!!!!!!

  40. GetReal says:

    heard she got fired for her comments on the jays/solange incident

  41. Abe6772 says:

    So, did morning crew are still there?

  42. Abe6772 says:

    Wow, that shady ass dude Ebro just took over the morning show. No one wanted him there

  43. tytyrty says:

    DESE HOES AINT LOYAL MAN THEY ROTATE

  44. DariusMrperfect Morgan says:

    Low ratings!!!..they need new talent….by resigning they let her leave with dignity and smiles…….watch the dominos fall after thisl

  45. Rgeezy says:

    I wouldn’t call moving over to another radio station growing.

  46. jinsushi says:

    No matter what power105 does they will never replace or duplicate what hot97 has done for NYC, for hiphop, for the culture. Some of y’all shit on hot97 and praise power105 like they doing something different. They play the same music. After breakfast club they’re pretty basic. Y’all act like hot97 controls hiphop or something. Hot97 isn’t the reason hiphop is full of ppl u don’t like. U blame the radio when u should blame the fans. They’re the ones that request that crap u don’t wanna hear. And guess what the same crap is on power105. And then at night Rosenberg actually plays real hiphop underground hiphop and breaks new artist. Who does that at power105? Nobody. When something or someone is on top that’s when the hate comes.

  47. Markus says:

    I wonder how long it will take before Hot97 starts slinging mud at their “family member” Angie Martinez for joining the enemy.
