5/16: Shelley Wynter off WAOK
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
WAOK-AM, the news/talk station targeting African Americans on 1380, has dismisssed its moderate/conservative-leaning afternoon talk show host Shelley Wynter after two and a half years.
“I loved WAOK and have nothing bad to say about the experience there,” Wynter said, whose show was dubbed “The Right Side.”
WAOK hasn’t seen much in the way of ratings of late, trumped by the much stronger signal and appeal of Grown Folks 102.5 on the FM dial, where Steve Harvey and Michael Baisden have had a strong impact.
“I believe if we had the same signal as 102.5, we could just as well,” he said. “If someone is looking for a high-quality radio program that reaches out to not only the African American professional but also whites and wants to grow revenue, please give me a call!”
