Angie Martinez Leaves Hot 97 For Power 105 In The Biggest Heel Turn Since Hogan At Bash At The Beach

MTV - It looks like Angie Martinez — “The Voice of New York,” as even President Obama calls her — isn’t going too far after all. The Bronx native dropped a bombshell yesterday, announcing her resignation from New York’s Hot 97.1 radio station after 15 years on the air, and now we know where she’s off to. On Thursday morning (June 19), Clear Channel announced that Martinez would be joining the team at rival radio station Power 105. 1, in addition to airing on 103.5 The Beat in Miami. She’s set to host a new afternoon show, running fro 2 – 6 p.m in New York. Power 105 and Hot 97 have been fierce competitors in recent years, so the move is definitely unexpected. Martinez announced her resignation on-air Wednesday, and that was followed by an Instagram post saying goodbye. The outpouring of reactions was immediate, with colleagues and artists like Q-Tip paying their respects. “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,” she said in her farewell post. “Saying goodbye is always emotional and bitter sweet but I am extremely excited about the future.”
