This was a big morning for Latinas the on the New York based radio show The Breakfast Club. Not only because JLo stopped by, but also because of their big announcement of Angie Martinez's arrival to their station. If you aren't hip, NY radio stations Hot 97 and Power 105.1 have an intense rivalry (or friendly competition at the least) that's spanned across the years from beefs with artists going to only one of their stations at a time (Jay Z & Nas beef, Nicki Minaj) to past employees like the Breakfast Club's own, DJ Envy leaving Hot 97 for Power 105.1. This year they both premiered TV shows and it seemed as thought the competition was at a meeting point until their "queen", Angie Martinez made the ultimate chess move and resigned from Hot 97, only to officially announce her new home at Power less than 24 hours later.
And Power 105.1 is equally elated:
Angie Martinez is excited to join the family and shared these words in the official press release.
"I want to thank, Thea Mitchem, Tom Poleman and Doc Wynter for this incredible opportunity," said Martinez. "I’m excited to join Power 105.1 in New York and The Beat in Miami and expand my brand even further in the coming months."
"Angie is the Queen of New York City radio – she is an incredible talent who continues to blaze trails and we are excited to have her join the team at Power 105.1 and The Beat in Miami," said Thea Mitchem, Senior Vice President of Programming – Major Markets, Clear Channel Media and Entertainment. "Angie has a long, successful history and we look forward to expanding her distinctive style and compelling content to more of our listeners."
We're happy to have Angie Martinez!
Well Power 105.1, you've got the juice now man.
