[**Angela Stribling**](https://www.facebook.com/angelastribling/directory%5Fpersonal%5Fdetails)**, a pioneering Black Entertainment Television (BET) personality and popular radio host, has died.** She was 58, reports [People](https://people.com/angela-stribling-dead-bet-personality-radio-host-dies-at-58-12143641?ref=capitolcommunicator.com). Stribling rose to fame on BET, as well as through her work with WHUR, WJLA-TV and WJZ-TV.

Stribling was a familiar voice and face to audiences across the Washington region for decades, most recently at Howard University’s urban adult contemporary commercial FM radio station WHUR, states Inside Radio.

**Ed Gordon**, a journalist who worked with BET for more than four decades, announced the news of Stribling’s death in a [Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/edgordonmedia/posts/its-been-a-very-difficult-year-for-the-bet-family-weve-lost-a-number-of-people-a/1625640282351028/) on Sunday, Sept. 27.

“So very sad to hear Angela Stribling has passed away,” Gordon, 66, wrote. “We worked together and became friends during our years at the network and remained friends once we both moved on to other opportunities.”

“During our last conversation, she told me that she and her husband would be spending more time in D.C. after being out west for a number of years. My prayers and best go out to him and her other loved ones,” he continued. “She was a sweet soul, RIP.”

More recently, she hosted her own radio program, [*Pillow Talk with Angela*](https://whur.com/pillow-talk/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com)*,* and has hosted a wide range of national awareness campaigns.

According to People, some notables Stribling has interviewed over the course of her career include Bill Clinton, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Janet Jackson, 50 Cent, Brandy and Sterling K. Brown, among others.

Per her LinkedIn page, Stribling’s voice is also heard on “many national TV and radio campaigns, including Mercedes-Benz of North America, Folgers Coffee and Allstate Insurance.”

In October 2025, she wrote on Facebook: “This past year was the most challenging I’ve experienced in my lifetime! On many levels! But, especially a surprising health challenge! Through the grace of God, I’ve survived it and ready to embrace all that He has in store for me!’

According to an online item, “the prominent Washington, D.C. media personality, radio host, and jazz vocalist”, passed away after a “courageous two-year battle with brain cancer.”
