D.L. Hughley to host morning show on New York's Kiss-FM radio

Comedian D.L.Hughley is getting a new gig. He'll be in the NY from now on, hosting his own radio show on Kiss-FM.

It's a morning show, which will start on Monday. D.L. is joining the ranks fellow on air comedians Steve Harvey, to which D.L., and Steve will be going head to head in their time slots, Monique, Big Boi, and several others.

Taking a cue from the tremendous success of of Steve Harvey and his morning show, the folks at KISS-FM went ahead and recruited D.L. I'm sure they caught his show on CNN and they may have even heard him doing the guest commentating on the Tom Joyner morning show.

Along to help D.L. team, he'll be joined by Jacque Reid, who used to be an anchor woman for BET news, comedian Steve Wilson, and also host Raqiyah Mays who is a correspondent for CNN.

Free Is Back

The last time I saw a picture of Free, my girl was lookin bad; about 30 pounds heavier, and lookin a bit greasy 'bout the face. Hopefully, this new gig that she's just pulled by joining Power 105.1 as the co-host of the Ed Lover Morning Show starting today (October 14). The Program Director, Cadillac Jack spoke on the deal and added his network is assured that Free’s successful, #1 rated run as a BET VJ will translate to the competitive New York radio market. After her departure from 106 and Park in 2005, Free went on the following year to produce and host her own LA-based afternoon show, “Free’s World.” The Ed Lover Morning Show currently airs weekdays from 6-10AM.

Buh Bye Wendy!

I guess the FCC is tired of all the loud mouths on air huh... cuz they are quickly shuttin folks down around the town. First Miss Jones got the boot, not once, but twice in two months, and now Wendy Williams? According to YBF.com sources who are pretty damn close to Wendy, exclusively told TheYBF.com that the Queen of All Media Wendy Williams was “asked to take a couple days off” from “The Wendy Williams Experience” until next week sometime.

I think we all know how to interpret that right? That means, "give us a few days, we need to talk about how we're going to fire yo ass!". They're not officially calling this a suspension but like Tip say... You know what it is! It is also being reported that the Wendy Williams Experience will not be renewed for 2009, so not only will her television stint be nixed, but her radio show is getting ol heave'ho as well.

It's being said that the other day on her show, she acted a fool about the fact that Inner City Broadcasting Corporation cut out her Bonus Hour even though it was in her contract. She said the Bonus Hour is her favorite hour of her entire 5 hour afternoon segment. And adding in the extra hour on WBLS was her idea. She went off on-air about how wack they were for removing it starting this upcoming Monday. Apparently her bosses said the listeners “voted” and wanted more music, less talk. And she just found out on Tuesday that there would be no bonus hour come Monday.

So ya’ll know she was a smart ass during her whole show about it. But there's more. Aside from all of her days shananigans, Wendy went on to tell the listening audience that her husband Kevin got arrested had a run in with NYPD a few hours before while he was innocently rolling through Manhattan. Oh really? You really want everybody all up and through yo -ish huh Wendy.

Oh, but there’s more. To cap things off, Fox Networks is not going to pick up her Wendy Williams TV Talk Show for regular rotation. They taped a few episodes these past couple months and it was only shown in a few test markets/cities. And according to Wendy herself, she’s heard nothing about them actually picking it up as a regular show. So that looks like it’s a goner too. The network will however be repeating the taped shows twice a day though starting soon.

And finally, it's being rumored that Wendy Williams will be getting a Satelite Radio show, and from what I'm told, that's a much sweeter deal anyways. Wendy has a movie coming out about her life, so ya'll be sure to check that out at a Blockbuster near you.
