Only a day after announcing her departure from Emmis’ Urban WQHT-FM (Hot 97 NYC) as afternoon driver, Angie Martinez has moved to CCME for two gigs: Martinez, will join the company to host afternoons on Power 105.1 in New York and Middays on 103.5 The Beat in Miami.

Blige, Ne-Yo and Justin Bieber. Martinez is also deeply connected with Hip-Hop music and the local community, giving her perspective on the day’s biggest new stories and events.
