We can’t call her “the voice of New York” anymore. She’s now the “voice of New York and Miami.” It’s just been announced that legendary radio broadcaster Angie Martinez will officially join Power 105, Hot 97’s chief rival in New York City. Not only that, but Angie will be joining 103.5 The Beat in Miami. This comes just a day after Angie resigned from Hot 97, her home for 25 years.
Bossip first reported that the move was coming, but it was Power 105’s morning show, The Breakfast Club, that officially announced the news:

Angela Yee, one-third of The Breakfast Club, posted the official press release on her Instagram: As for Hot 97, personalities from the station seem to be taking the high road. Ex-program director and current star of VH1’s This is Hot 97, Ebro Darden, posted this on Twitter:
