Sad News: Whoopi Goldberg is Off the Air
Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 10:41 am
This is to Aaron Wallace, big Whoopi fan.
I heard the sad news that "Wake Up With Whoopi" was canceled.
I was listening to Allan Sniffen's "Board Reflections" this week about her final radio comments. She was not doing good on radio. Now, she's with "The View". This was from April 14th, since I haven't posted in a while. Here it is from All Access:
Whoopi Exits Radio
WHOOPI GOLDBERG ended her syndicated morning show career with some mis-fired fireworks. Sources tell ALL ACCESS that her final show FRIDAY morning (4/11) basically consisted of a three-hour rant about how much she hated doing radio. It was almost enough to make some station execs pull the plug early.
Nevertheless, expect to see the stations that carried her show announce morning replacements quickly.
It has already started at CLEAR CHANNEL Rhythmic AC WKSL (KISS)/RALEIGH, where PD/afternoons DAVE KENT segues to wakeups, effective TODAY. The move creates a choice opening in afternoons.
End of a radio era.
