RIGHTTTT so we're suppose to believe he stepped down as Program director to be on air personality :stopitslime:

nikka just say you got demoted cause Power 105 is boding you nikkas and your bosses said "You're a failure". Come on man. This like Phil Jackson saying he quitting coaching to play back up small forward. :comeon:



ebro is a bytch ass nikka, breh.
we all know he got smashed on, and offered the consolation prize.

The hurt feelings in his "skybox n1gga" statement leads me to believe you're right.. But if he lost his PD position over poor ratings why would they give him as host of the flagship show as a soft landing?
They seriously prob gonna :camby: the morning show, shyt is basura

lls you do realize Wendy Williams has had a syndicated talk show on TV since 2008 right? Who would have ever thought that would happen? It looks like he's taking a demotion now but it really could be a bigger picture move. Of course he's not a mainstream celeb but seriously think about the amount of traction he's been able gain in the last year alone by putting his face out there, showing some personality and sharing his personal opinions. The less his hands are tied with corporate matters the more opportunities he will have to expand his "brand" (I hate that term).



hold up,..
ebro has no chance in hell.
of ever, and I mean ever...
being anywhere near what wendy Williams was as a radio ratings juggernaut.

to the point, I live in Chicago.
that I knew who wendy Williams was and her stances and comments.
whilen, never ever hearing much of her radio shows before the internet.

there is no way in hell ebro will ever progress to where Williams is.
I don't care if he gets connects...he will never do what Williams has done, ever.
shyt, Charlemagne is on from virtually being in the right place at the right time, from Williams.

to where charlemagne's time is completely limited and will not ever be close to what Williams has.
on spread sheet and actual sentiment in the multiple marketplaces....

ebro is not going to permeate anywhere near Williams.
they let no talents get somewhere, yet real talk.

Williams is a real talent and she is where she is cause she was really the real deal.
ebro could sleaze his way to a fraction of what Williams is.
yet, he has no ability to sustain what Williams has done for as long as Williams on her drawing level, period.

this. that VH1 show is gonna be a failure and if he gets fired, he certainly earned it. how you supposed to run the top hip hop station in the country and let Power come thru and crush the building while WBLS and KISS are non-existant at this point. Flex and Angie alone have more brand equity than the whole Power 105 staff combined and its because of their history and how they helped build that station back in the 90s.

Letting Star go was a dumbass mistake considering that Howard Stern left "regular" radio and in the time after he left, NY radio (and the stations Stern was syndicated on) was fukkin lost. You keep Star, let him play the music he wanted to play (less hip hop) and Hot 97 woulda been eating forever. Yet, they overreact with the Aaliyah thing and then allow him to sign with Power 105 (which was still building themself up back then)

They coulda ate real well and had a great balance of a Star-driven morning show, gay as Mr. Cee doing his throwback at noon, Angie doing her thing at the drive time slot and Flex finishing it off in the prime time slot. Instead, you got your top tier DJs doing Western Beef commercials while Charlamagne basically is a wack Star clone and clowning the shyt outta Hot 97 in the process. With the drop in ratings and revenue over the years, management shoulda been got rid of him and let someone else take the wheel
