After almost 16 months of only modest listenership, Whoopi Goldberg's morning radio show has been canceled by WKTU (103.5 FM).
A memo circulated to the WKTU staff late yesterday said the station will stop carrying Goldberg's nationally syndicated show as of this morning. Launched on July 31, 2006, the radio show was intended to be a less strident alternative to "shock jock" and Morning Zoo radio.
But it never found a big audience and didn't crack the top 10 in New York.
Philly's WISX has also dropped Whoopi.
To me, it was pretty clear Whoopi's radio show would go bye-bye once she landed her spot on The View. I bet she focuses on TV and a revived acting career again.
