In some not so surprising news, Wendy Williams announced on her talk show The Wendy Williams Show, that she will be leaving radio to focus on her nationally syndicated talk show.
Wendy’s departure from her daily radio show on WBLS, The Wendy Williams Experience, will be effective July 31st. Here’s what she had to say.
“I want to tell all of my fans that after July 31st, I will no longer be doing a show with WBLS,” Williams said. “I really was blessed to have a broadcast home in NY on radio for the past 7 years and I want to thank everyone who supported me. I have one of the best jobs in the world, making a difference in the lives of my fans made all the difference to me and I look forward to doing the same thing in my new role as a TV host. My hope is that you will do your best to find me on your remote so I can continue to entertain and inform you each and every day.”
“We are saddened to lose one of our most popular personalities,” noted Deon Levingston, Vice President and General Manager of WBLS. “But we understand what it requires to put a live show on television each and every day and wish Wendy all the best in this new venture.”
I had a feeling this was coming so I’m not surprised. If you’ve ever watched the show you’ll know Wendy is a mess, but a funny mess at that. I look forward to watching future episodes.
