"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.

Reality is a bitch...
Great summation. Reminds me of how the (liberal Manhattanite) film critic Pauline Kael was stunned uopn learning that Nixon got elected in 1972. Her reasoning? “Nobody I know voted for him”.
I only wish NPR and PBS were held to the same standard.
What kind of a name is..Whoo-Pi?
