After being a personality at Hot97 for over a decade now, Angie Martinez announced that she would be resigning on instagram. She wrote "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."
Not long after Power 105.1 confirmed that Angie Martinez would be joining the team in July with a slot from 2-6 on weekdays. She will also be hosting a midday slot for Miami's the beat. A lot of people have been making negative comments about Angie's transition. Many people classified the switch as disloyalty,because of the rivalry between Hot97 and Power 105.1. I believe her decision has nothing to do with loyalty, I believe she had to make the best situation for her as a person and her career. I personally would have done the same thing. What about you?
