New York radio suffered its biggest shake-up in years as the flagship morning program Ebro In The Morning vanished from MediaCo-owned WQHT (Hot 97) virtually overnight.
All traces of the show – hosted by Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez – have been scrubbed from Hot 97’s website, confirming the program’s immediate departure after nearly 13 years as the station’s morning cornerstone.
Syndicator Superadio, which distributed the show nationally, released a short statement late Wednesday:
“While the distribution of Ebro in the Morning in its current form is ending, Superadio remains fully committed to the Ebro brand. We look forward to continuing to bring Ebro’s voice and talent to the masses across new platforms, which we’ll be sharing more about very soon.”
Co-host Peter Rosenberg followed with an emotional reflection: “I lived out a childhood dream and it was amazing. Very excited for what’s next.”
The sudden exit caps a turbulent few months at the legendary hip-hop station. In September, longtime nighttime king Funkmaster Flex shifted to the 5–10 p.m. slot, while 27-year station veteran DJ Enuff and MD/VP of Artist & Label Relations TT Torrez both departed.
Those moves, combined with the loss of the morning show that defined Hot 97’s brand for over a decade, signal the most dramatic overhaul of the station’s on-air lineup in its 40-year history.
Neither Hot 97 nor its parent company MediaCo have commented publicly on what will replace Ebro In The Morning or whether the hosts were let go, walked away, or some combination of both.
For now, one of New York radio’s most influential platforms has gone silent on its future – while Ebro, Rosenberg, and Stylez appear headed to new ventures under the continued backing of Superadio.
