The popular morning show “Ebro In The Morning” on HOT 97 has officially wrapped up after an impressive 13-year run. Hosts Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez bid farewell to their dedicated listeners today, December 12. Following the final broadcast, Ebro took to social media, stating, “It’s done. More to come. #EbroInTheMorning.” Peter echoed the sentiment, sharing, “I lived out a childhood dream and it was amazing. Very excited for what’s next #ebrointhemorning #reallate.” However, Laura has not yet publicly commented on the show’s conclusion.
While this marks a poignant moment for hip-hop media, the departure was not entirely unexpected. Ebro had previously expressed concerns regarding new management at HOT 97, which he claimed neglected its key programs, including DJ Enuff’s. He voiced frustration over the lack of investment in the station, stating, “Congratulations, you played yourself to our family up here… the new ownership of the big legend, Hot 97, didn’t give a damn about investing in this damn thing here.”
Ebro also mentioned the troubling changes occurring within the station, including staffing cuts and the lack of communication about important program updates. Peter, while addressing the inevitable changes, conveyed a more optimistic outlook, suggesting that “change can be beautiful” and hinted at potential future endeavors for the trio.
The future remains uncertain for Ebro, Peter, and Laura, but there is speculation that they may continue collaborating in some way. The conclusion of “Ebro In The Morning” adds to a series of notable exits from HOT 97, including DJ Enuff, who left the station after 27 years earlier this year. Despite the sadness surrounding the show’s end, it also presents an opportunity for new beginnings for these popular figures in the hip-hop community.
