As previously noted, his final shift at the 7 p.m. to midnight slot will be on Sept. 1.
The outlet also reports that Nessa Nitty, whose husband is Colin Kaepernick, will move to 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the morning show, Ebro in the Morning, will slide over to 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.
DJ Enuff and DJ Camilo, who hosted afternoon drive blocks per Hot 97’s websites, have reportedly been released as free agents.
On Thursday afternoon (Aug. 28), Aston George Taylor Jr. announced on X, formerly Twitter, that his final show will be on Sept. 1.

According to COMPLEX although Funk Flex didn’t specify whether he’d be retiring completely, social media users took his announcement to heart and shared some of their last song requests.
Fans mainly wanted a replay of Jay-Z and Ye’s “Otis,” on which Funk Flex dropped multiple “bombs” in 2011. Funk has been known to press the explosive sound effect for impressive songs.
