NICOLE ALVAREZ says leaving KROQ was "the hardest thing."

Radio personality Nicole Alvarez is leaving KROQ-FM (106.7) behind after more than 20 years of service and alleged tensions with the station's executive team.

Alvarez confirmed her departure from the station last Wednesday with a post on Instagram and a farewell letter published by the Hollywood Reporter. She spoke about her exit weeks after delivering her final broadcast on July 30. She joined the KROQ team in September 2003 and was an on-air personality for weekday programming.

"I never knew how it would end. I just knew that when it did, I would have to be the one to write the final chapter," Alvarez wrote for THR.
