Wendy Williams, whose booming personality has made her a fixture – and occasionally the center of scandal – on city radio for 20 years, is leaving her long-time home at WBLS (107.5 FM) for a new love: television.

She will do her last WBLS show on July 31, she said last night. The announcement follows the strong debut July 13 of her new syndicated TV program, “The Wendy Williams Show.” It is seen locally at 10 a.m. daily on Ch. 5.

At WBLS, where Williams’s afternoon show and morning host Steve Harvey sparked a major ratings resurgence several years ago, Vice President and General Manager Deon Levingston said, “We are saddened to lose one of our most popular personalities, but we understand what it requires to put a live show on television. We wish Wendy all the best in this new venture.”

    Does anyone know if Wendy was really born a woman? My friend back in Louisiana genuinely asked me the same question. She said she really wondered if Wendy was a drag queen.

    Are we sure her birth name wasn’t Wayne?

    Hopefully it works out. Just because a show does well initially don’t mean it will continue. If I was her I would wait. Although, she seems like she is made for TV. We’ll see…

    Yeah she is leaving for other reasons as well. She is being sued by her fomer taleny agent for her radio show. The agent said that wendy williams husband kept pushing up on her.. Her show wont last… she does alot of gossip that she does not seem to confirm.. she just thinks everybody is gay…. her show wont last

    she got fake titties, fake hair, a fake nose, and a fake personality. instead of turning into a white woman like michael jackson did after plastic surgery, shes doin a reverse and turning into a white man. i love michael jackson, he actually had talent which wendy williams has none of

    Please. Wendy is ano talent hack.. She sucked when she was on kiss fm.. got ran out of town. Wbls was fool enought to let her come back. And now she thinks she has the smarts to host daytime t.v? What kind of probing questions can this fool ask? What size is your bra cup..

    I LOVEEEE HER SHOWWWWW LOVEEEE IT!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/DRAMA/ DRAMA

    I think that just may be a bad move for her. If I was her, I would keep both the radio and tv show going….honestly. She should know how funny talk tv shows can be with these networks out here. If ain’t broke don’t fix it.

    Wendy I love your show. I ask of you to please stay on the radio; you are are a blast to listen to. May God Bless you and keep you on your road to happiness. Keep both jobs and make that money girl.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/panamaniak/ panamaniak

    she should stick to radio. i personally don’t think she is ugly (like ‘em thick!,Lol!) but she doesn’t seem comfortable on TV. like when that girl NeNe was on, she seemed to be searching for topics to talk about. and like when Linda Carter was on (of course when these talk show hosts get some of these people they always claim to be their “biggest fan”,yet there was a lot of awkward silence). i don’t think she can carry a TV show. but i hope she does get some seasons in. i don’t wish failure on anyone.

    Wendy stay on the radio because your tv show SUCKS..By the way wht happen to the old BET it barely had all this reality shows and not move videos.Everybody want a reality shows which totally sucks.. AND YES SHE IS PURE UGLY..please cancel ur show and stick to the radio and make everybody happy..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    I think radio is her “niche”. Although I like her show I do not anticipate it going beyond ONE season unless she lands a spot or a prime time network. BET shows lacks longevity. However, she has a different “brand” of talk show to offer mainstream. Hmmmmm,this one is a coin toss…it could go either way!!!

    I got no love for a B***h that said Tupac got raped in Jail and made up all kinds of s**t in a attempt to get media attention.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/QuinBoo12/ QuinBoo12

    for one her tv show is on more than one station because i watch it on fpx everytday….2 i hate wendy when she was a radio host but as itv host it seems like she is showin a newer respet for people plus its but so much u can say on tv..but i love the wendy williams show so maybe it will last and maybe not…i just think people need to stop being so judgemental…scandalous or not she making money

    I think she can do well on tv but her show has some screws loose and should be tighten to prolong her tv success. She is not used to being a host on tv after being on the radio for soooo many years. That would explain why she seems so unorganized with delivering her “news’. As a suggestion, she should take a look at her tv shows to get an idea of what her public is seeing. There is no other way to see the truth but to see it. As much of a critic as she is, I strongly believe that she will see the improvements needed in her tv deliverance. There seems to be no preparation, for example, her reading straight from her paper lacking eye contact with the audience, too many awkward silences, and she seems more concerned with her “wigs” than anything else. I wish her well on her tv show but she needs to remember she is not on the radio anymore. She is on live tv now. There are cameras on her now. On the radio we couldn’t see her reading from the paper or playing with her wigs. Visuals are everything and we see all that now. She needs to listen to her audience and make some changes to her deliverance and body language. She is not terribly bad but there is always room for improvement!

    ive seen bits and pieces of her show and i think its a hot mess…i mean just a show,based off of what i have seen,that gossips about celebrities…kind of like those magazines you buy at the store except its on tv…maybe she should just stick to radio but i thinks its good that shes trying to broaden her horizons and do something other than radio

    Wait, this article is inaccurate: Wendy Wms. premiered IN 2008. She came on at 12 PM, EST–I think on the ABC network. WTF? Be accurate in your reporting, please!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/playaa_2000/ playaa_2000

    She’s a lying azz broad. Lied about Tupac and a bunch of other people. Her show sucks and I’m glad!!! It comes on BET and I’ll watch like 5 to 10 minutes of it and turn the station. It won’t be on the air long. She’s wack and ugly. Looks like a cave woman. She needs to go back to radio where she can hide and make up bulls**t about people.
