New Sounds On The Radar
• iHeartMedia’s WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York just launched a new Friday night specialty show — On The Radar, hosted by native New Yorker, Gabe P, is described as “the destination for artists, showcasing exclusive interviews, freestyle performances, and cyphers.”
“I saw a gap in the industry for my generation,” said Gabe P (pictured). “I felt like rising artists and even some established artists didn’t have a platform for them to come and feel comfortable, where they could not only showcase their personality in an interview but also showcase their talent in a freestyle. Starting independently, the platform has quickly grown to be one of the must-go-to destinations for artists when they come to New York.”
On The Radar has so far featured artists such as B Lovee, Fivio Foreign, Kali Uchis, Coi Leray, Toosii, Fredo Bang, Kay Flock, Digga D, Aitch, J.I The Prince of N.Y. and many more.
“Connecting with emerging artists is key to the relationship between listeners and the music they love, and we’re delighted to bring On The Radar with Gabe P to Power 105.1,” said Thea Mitchem, EVP of Programming and PD of Power 105.1. “This show will spotlight the purity, strength, and raw creativity of Hip-Hop.”
On The Radar rolls Fridays from 8-10pm ET on Power 105.1.
