"Whoops!"

Just weeks after claiming she would reshape her faltering radio program to focus on a New York City audience, Whoopi Goldberg has now been cancelled even there.

According to press and trade reports today, Wake Up With Whoopi was yanked from WKTU-FM today without warning, other than a brief note sent to staffers mere hours before the change. Poor ratings were cited by the station.

Recently, after similar results led to terminations in Chicago and Philly, your Radio Equalizer speculated that Whoopi’s radio days appeared numbered. Now, one can easily expect the syndicated program to be shut down, perhaps in the next few days.

Whoopi Goldberg’s radio show gets yanked *ping*

She had the face for radio but not the voice.

Guinan didn’t see this coming?

She's too busy doing The View anyway. That's where she gets seen and heard the most (by a LONG shot).

I recall something about them giving her a radio show, saying she’d be more “tolerant” and “humorous” with her callers. But I thought the show fell thru and never made it to air.

Exactly. I think waking up to the sound of Whoopi's voice in the morning would be like waking up to the sound of someone using sandpaper on your teeth.

Are the rumors that the Whoppster does not bathe regularly and sometimes “passes gas” freely and with no restraint true?

I don’t wanna think about it.

btw I think her real name is Caryn Johnson, for those who
were wondering what parent would even name their kid
Whoopi.

These metro areas where the liberals like whoopie have so miserably failed are in fact, heavily liberal areas themselves, but I don’t see any explanation for those poor ratings forthcoming from the media powers that be.

Hard to fake intelligence and knowledge with a regular radio program.

Good one!

This is old news; she was yanked from WKTU four weeks ago. The show is still on the air in a few peashooter markets (Good morning Muskegon!)...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Ted Danson is deeply saddened.

[JRios1968]

Another one...
