Angie Martinez Doubled Salary With Move To Power 105.1

If it ain’t about the money!

Angie Martinez Doubles Salary With New Gig, Hot 97 May Pick Up “Rickey Smiley Show”

For everyone wondering why Angie Martinez would ditch Hot 97 after so many years to take a gig at Power 105.1 a few blocks away the answer is simple mathematics…

According to Page Six reports:

Music insiders are buzzing that when popular disc jockey Angie Martinez jumped ship to Power 105. 1 two weeks ago, after 15 years at Hot 97, she doubled her pay.

Sources tell Page Six that Clear Channel, which owns Power 105.1, offered Martinez a figure in the “high six figures.” Martinez, who was a co-host of Hot 97’s “Afternoon Drive” broadcast with DJ Enuff, will be hosting two four-hour shows in New York and Miami (Martinez’s rep had no comment).

Meanwhile, there could be room for some new voices on Hot 97.

Last week at a dinner for stand-up comedian Rickey Smiley thrown by Uptown magazine, guests were buzzing that Hot 97 may pick up Smiley’s radio show, which is syndicated in 70 markets.

Wow, that would be huge if Rickey Smiley ends up on Hot 97. Would you rather listen to him than Cipha Sounds, Ebro and Rosenberg???
