Sad news to report from the world of Radio and Black Entertainment. Legendary and pioneering host of several BET programs, Angela Stribling, has died at the age of 58.

“It is with a broken heart that I share that my beloved wife, Angela Marie Stribling, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, September 26, after a courageous two-year battle with brain cancer,” he wrote. “Her sister Darlene and I were by her side. Angela always saw the goodness in people. Where others saw challenges, she saw possibilities, and she had a remarkable gift for bringing out the very best in everyone around her. We were married for four wonderful years, and she changed my life for the better in every possible way.”
Stribling was a longtime radio and tv host for BET, where she helped lead programs such as Screen Scene, Video Soul, and Jazz Central. Then, she also hosted programs such as Quiet Storm on WHUR and Pillow Talk with Angela.
