Mero Set To Replace "Ebro In The Morning" On Hot 97

New York City hip-hop radio station officially introduced their new morning show roster by welcoming The Kid Mero, who will launch his Hot 97 Mornings with Mero on Tuesday (Jan. 13). "Hot 97 is the station—it's been the voice of NYC hip-hop and culture for decades," said Mero in a press statement. "I grew up listening to Hot 97, so to get the morning slot here isn't just a job—it's a responsibility to continue that legacy while bringing it into this next era of media. We're gonna laugh, we're gonna get into it, but it's always gonna be real, and a real good time! “Hot 97 has always been about representing the culture of New York, and Mero is New York,” said Kudjo Sogadzi, EVP of Content & Growth at MediaCo. “He’s authentic, hilarious, fearless, and deeply connected to the community. Hot 97 Mornings with Mero is going to set the tone for the city every morning and create must-listen moments for our audience.” The new show succeeds the long-running Ebro in the Morning, which began in 2012 and ran for nearly 13 years until the radio station parted ways with the show’s co-hosts Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez in December.
