iHeartMedia New York names Astra and Marie as morning co-hosts for WKTU (103.5 KTU, The Beat of New York), effective September 16. Astra joins the morning show after moving up from weekends. She recently landed a job as the global anchor for Page Six, shooting daily news segments for New York Post’s entertainment column. Marie is bringing the popular feature “War of the Roses” to mornings after a long successful run during Hamilton’s afternoon show the last 13 years.

“Get ready, New York! The highly anticipated new KTU morning crew is gearing up to take over the airwaves, starting September 16,” said WKTU Program Director Chris Conley. “KTU is bringing fresh energy, exciting segments and the hottest music to kick off your mornings right on the Beat of New York. Stay tuned for a whole new level of entertainment.”

“I’m thrilled to join Hollywood Hamilton & The KTU Morning Crew-pinch me, this feels unreal,” added Astra. “Working with such a talented host I’ve long admired is a dream come true. As a lifelong New Yorker with over two decades in the market, I’m incredibly excited for this opportunity to tackle morning radio with the best. A big thank you to Hollywood for this amazing chance, and to Thea Mitchem and Chris Conley for believing in me. And don’t worry, you’ll still catch me on ‘Page Six’ with all the latest celebrity news. Get ready for what’s next.”

“I am truly honored and grateful for this incredible opportunity,” said Marie. “A heartfelt thank you to iHeart and Hollywood Hamilton for their years of support and fun. I am excited to join the amazing team at WKTU and be part of this fantastic show.”
