Harry Lyles was consultant to the relaunch of Hot 97 in summer of ’93 when he met Angie Martinez who was working in the promotions department. She wanted to be on the radio just like her successful mother in Boston. After many practice sessions in the production room, we put Angie on Hot 97 to do overnights. The story became history as Angie got better and better and made it happen with New York success starting with Emmis’ Hot 97 and later moved on to iHeart’s Power 105.1 to do afternoons. Currently, a radio legend in New York- with encouragement, coaching, the right direction and talent dedication it proves anything is possible when collectively we work together.
