Letty Peniche is addressing Rosecrans Vic’s exit from Power 106. The Brown Bag Mornings co-host says she’s deeply hurt by the backlash.
What We Know: Victor Ulloa, known as Rosecrans Vic, has left Meruelo Media’s KPWR Los Angeles amid cuts at the company’s other stations in the market. He says management told him last Friday he was coming off the air, after months of losing segments. Meanwhile, an emotional Peniche says, in remarks shared by Cult Media News, that no one consulted her on the decisions. Moreover, she wishes Vic had given her a chance to talk. The show will continue with Peniche, Cristian ‘Concrete’ Gutierrez, producer Angie Fernandez, and DJ Greg C.
What They Said: “Vic was someone that when we would talk about hip hop, that’s, that’s my go-to. Me and him back and forth, you know? … This doesn’t feel like it’s brown bag because so much of us is not one person. So much of us is the group dynamic … That said, there has been a lot of misrepresentation about my personal part in this, and I’m very, very hurt by the things that have been said on social media. I wish Vic would’ve given me a chance to talk to him. –Letty Peniche
What Remains Unclear: It’s unclear whether Meruelo Media will address Vic’s departure publicly. Meanwhile, details on the other cuts remain scarce.
What It Means: Peniche’s comments show the fallout is straining the show’s team. Likewise, she is the show’s lone original host, so listeners will likely look to her to answer whether Brown Bag Mornings works without Vic. Her public remarks could also shape whether the two ever repair their relationship.
