- Laura Stylez says Ebro in the Morning stopped recording at Hot 97 because the hosts didn’t want to enter a studio with “roaches and homeless people” in the hallways.
- The show’s end was confirmed by Ebro, who tweeted “It’s done. More to come. #EbroInTheMorning.”
- City records show no recent violations at Hot 97’s building; a nearby transitional shelter sits a block away.
- The trio have launched a new show — The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show — and say more projects are coming.
H2: Why they say they avoided Hot 97’s studio
Laura Stylez pushed back on fans who wrote that Ebro in the Morning had been “mailing it in” now that the program finished. In a social reply she insisted the show remained live but explained the trio chose not to return to Hot 97’s building for broadcasts.
“Mailing it in? Lol it was live,” Stylez wrote. “We just didn’t want to go into a studio with roaches and homeless people sleeping in the hallways.” The comment followed news the long-running morning show had ended.
H3: What the records and location show
New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development records list no complaints or violations at Hot 97’s current building in the past two years. Still, a transitional housing shelter run by the Bowery Residents’ Committee — the Jack Ryan Residence — sits roughly a block away, a proximity Stylez referenced when explaining the hosts’ decision.
H3: Ebro’s response and reaction
Ebro Darden announced the program’s end on Twitter: “It’s done. More to come. #EbroInTheMorning.” During an Instagram Live, he suggested his political views may have contributed to the cancellation, saying his commentary had grown more progressive.
H2: What comes next for the hosts
Despite the end of the Hot 97 era, the hosts signaled they’re not disappearing. Over the weekend Ebro shared a link to The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show on YouTube, where he, Stylez and Peter Rosenberg will continue working together. Stylez also posted on Instagram that she’s proud of the work they did at Hot 97 and that the trio are planning more projects next year.

H4: A brief history
Ebro in the Morning launched in 2012 when Ebro returned to the mornings after an earlier stint. The show became a fixture in New York radio for nearly a decade-plus, blending music, interviews and commentary. The hosts say their relationship and creative plans continue beyond Hot 97’s building.
H5: Final note
The split highlights tensions that can surround legacy radio brands, public spaces and programming decisions. For listeners, the immediate takeaway is that the hosts are moving platforms — promising more content and a new chapter outside Hot 97’s studios.
