Premiere Networks personality Angela Yee is leaving the company's "Breakfast Club" program to host a new weekday radio show, "Way Up with Angela Yee." The program, which will air middays, will launch Fall 2022 across more than 30 iHeartMedia stations, including WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York, and will be available for syndication through Premiere Networks. Over the past 12 years, Yee has co-hosted Power 105's syndicated "The Breakfast Club" with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God.

"Angela Yee is a Powerhouse. She's a businesswoman, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a highly-entertaining, smart and witty talent who will go down as one of the greats of her generation. We are thrilled to have her lead this new show," said iHeartMedia Executive Vice President of Programming Thea Mitchem. "Angela has her finger on the pulse of entertainment and culture, and I look forward to watching her bring her positive outlook and even more great content to her devoted listeners in new and influential ways."

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Yee is a media veteran and has been on air for nearly two decades. She is the recipient of two Gracie awards, the Spirit of Detroit, WEEN Mission award, the Shirley Chisholm Woman of Distinction, Vice-Chancellor's Achievement award for AFUWI, the Airblazer award from the Mentoring & Inspiring Women in Radio Group, and the Talentmasters Morning Show Bootcamp award.

Yee also sits on numerous boards including American Foundation for the University of the West Indies (AFUWI), Nile Rodgers' We Are Family Foundation, the Fund for NYC Housing Authority, and The Shirley Chisholm Cultural Institute.

"I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement to have this once in a lifetime opportunity to create a brand-new show," said Yee. "I appreciate everyone who has helped to make this happen at iHeartMedia, and most importantly, the listeners who are like family to me. It's a bittersweet feeling to leave an iconic show like ‘The Breakfast Club,' which we built from the ground up for 12 years, but we will forever be an extension of each other. I'm working hard and dedicated to making our new program exciting, thoughtful, provocative, and most importantly, a safe haven for even more of us to grow and learn while having fun. I'm ready for this new chapter."
