For those who don’t know, The Breakfast Club is a radio show (also on podcast and YT) that expounds on the world of hip hop, culture, news, and whatever else the hosts Charlamagne the God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy want to discuss.
Now comes word Angela Ye is leaving TBC after 12 years with the show.
“This is really exciting,” she told Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy. “This is something that I’ve been waiting to do for years now, way before the pandemic. I had actually sat down with our big boss … and I was telling her, like, ‘Look, I really wanna have my own show.’ You know, I have my podcast Lip Service and I was thinking I would be able to get something like a weekend situation.”
“They approached me at iHeart … and told me that they are gonna give me my very own show,” she continued.
Yee confirmed the name of her new show, Way Up with Angela Yee, in a press release the same morning. The show will begin to air in Fall 2022 across more than 30 iHeartMedia stations, including New York’s Power 105.1. Yee’s Lip Service podcast will also soon be available through the iHeartPodcast Network.
Congratulations, Angie!
