Well it was only a matter of time. We said here many times that Wendy Williams‘ radio career
would be coming to an end soon as our sources have been whispering it in our ear for 6 months now. Radio Gossip Maven Wendy Williams has official announced today that she is leaving her home base at WBLS in NY and ending her long term radio career. The number of radio stations carrying Wendy Williams show has dwindled over the years to a handful-mainly thanks to suspensions, behind the scenes drama, and her not curbing her appetite for saying it like it is.

The WW staff and sidekick Charlemagne were all fired a few months ago. Wendy has now moved on to the world of television nd is on Fox and BET 5 days a week with the Wendy WIlliams show. And according to the press release
, she wants to devote 100% of her attention to her new tv career.

Statement from Wendy’s peope…

New York, July 22, 2009 – Executives
from WBLS and representatives for Wendy Williams today jointly announced Ms. Williams plans to leave her daily radio show at month’s end to dedicate herself full time to THE WENDY WILLIAMS SHOW, a nationally syndicated talker which launched July 13th. Ms. Williams, who has been a fixture on WBLS since 2002, has spent more than two decades on the air winning over fans and was recently nominated as a potential inductee to the National Radio Hall of Fame.  Her radio show has consistently rated as one of the highest rated programs on the station.

“We are saddened to lose one of our most popular personalities,” noted Deon Levingston, Vice President and General Manager of WBLS. “But we understand what it requires to put a live show on television each and every day and wish Wendy all the best in this new venture.”

“I want to tell all of my fans that after July 31st, I will no longer be doing a show with WBLS,” Williams said. “I really was blessed to have a broadcast home in NY on radio for the past 7 years and I want to thank everyone who supported me. I have one of the best jobs in the world, 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. My hope is that you will do your best to find me on your remote so I can continue to entertain and inform you each and every day.”
