With last week’s official launch of her new daytime talk show — currently airing in households across America — media personality Wendy Williams has decided to quit her longtime day job as a radio personality on WBLS.
According to the NY Daily News, the unforeseen move, which was announced today, finds Williams departing her daily radio show effective July 31 to pursue her newly launched syndicated show, ‘The Wendy Williams Show,’ full-time.

Williams, 45, has also been heard on WRKS and WQHT, where she often stirred controversy with her gossip items about celebrities. She has been suspended several times and always dismissed it as the cost of doing business.
“I really was blessed to have a broadcast home in New York on radio for the past seven years,” said Williams in a statement. “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.”
Wendy whose booming personality has made her a fixture – and occasionally the center of scandal – on urban radio for 20 years, will be missed!!!!
