Veteran New York DJ Angie Martinez, who abruptly resigned from Hot 97 on Wednesday, has landed at rival hip-hop station Power 105.1 — which confirmed the move Thursday.
Martinez will also appear on The Beat in Miami (103.5 FM), which is owned by Power 105.1 parent company Clear Channel.
“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,” Thea Mitchem, Clear Channel’s senior vice president of programming of major markets, said in a statement. “Angie has a long, successful history and we look forward to expanding her distinctive style and compelling content to more of our listeners.”
Martinez will replace afternoon jock DJ Prostyle on 105.1, with DJ Prostyle moving to mornings (10 a.m.-2 p.m.).
“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,” Martinez said in a statement.
