Portsmouth, VA – July 10, 2009 - This Monday, FOX 43 WVBT-TV will debut the nationally syndicated talk show “The Wendy Williams Show”. Radio talk show host and now TV talk show host - Wendy Williams guarantees to be a hit delivering her unique brand of topical, not typical content every weeknight at 6:00pm. Hampton Roads viewers can expect a daily dose of the latest hot topics and a diverse mix of celebrities from film, music, sports and television.

"I can't help but feel like the time is right for this kind of show,” said executive producer and host Wendy Williams. “I want it to be a respite for viewers, a place to sit back, relax and laugh about topics we can all relate to as women. I know my core audience from my days in radio will be so excited about the TV show and I look forward to bringing new fans to daytime with our fun mix of segments. Here I am, a Jersey girl, with the opportunity of a lifetime and I plan to make the most of it."

Taped live from New York, the talk show will connect with both new television fans as well as with her pre-existing radio following.

“Wendy Williams is one of the most exciting hosts to come along in the past several years,” says Doug Davis, President and General Manager of WAVY-TV & FOX 43 WVBT-TV. “Hampton Roads will love Wendy and FOX43 is thrilled to bring her dynamic combination of humor, style, pop culture and straight talk to television weeknights at 6:00PM.”
