News Broke recently that Ebro Darden has stepped down as PD from NYC’s premier hip hop radio station. Ebro has been PD for a long time now, but also is an on-air personality for the ‘Hot 97 Am Show’, which he will keep doing. HE will also be in the new VH1 show “This Is Hot 97” Premiering Monday March 31st at 1030p!!
The news broke on Twitter yesterday when a Twitter user tweeted Ebro about the Job posting on Emmis’ website. Ebro had these words to say about it:
“yea man… Can’t do everything forever. Gotta choose… Creative or Corporate… Which one u pick?, tweeted Darden. “They was like so wait, u got mornings and now TV? How u gone do spread sheets, conference calls & meetings…? Pick Ebro…” – See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2014/03/14/ebro-darden-steps-program-director-hot-97/#sthash.69SSI3mq.dpuf
He will stay on as PD until the search is complete, but will focus his attention to behind the Mic, and in front of the Camera. This is what AllAccess.com got in a press release:
“Fortunately, I have had tremendous success doing both on-air and PD roles, and EMMIS let me choose where I would be happiest. Mornings, TV and assisting in programming makes sense with everything HOT 97 and I have happening today, so I chose creative over corporate. See you all at 5a tomorrow.”
Of course ‘tomorrow at 5a’ will be Monday-Friday 5a-10a.
