AJC: Wanda, Miss Sophia Exit V103/Atlanta
• The always reliable Rodney Ho at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting Entercom Urban WVEE (V103)/Atlanta has parted company with two-thirds of Frank and Wanda In The Morning — co-host Wanda Smith and entertainment reporter Miss Sophia have reportedly been let go, leaving market fixture Frank Ski flying solo.
The original Frank and Wanda Morning Show aired on V103 from 1998 until December 2012. Ski returned to V103 last February, succeeding Ryan Cameron. As Ho reports, “Smith has been a mainstay at V103 for more than two decades with just a single year off in 2013. A comedienne by trade, she has provided Ski with wisecracks and ebullience. She was also part of Ryan Cameron‘s show for most of his morning run until he chose to leave V103 last January, opening the door for Ski’s full-time return.”
Ho adds, “Miss Sophia (real name: Joe Taylor) was the first drag queen to ever have a regular slot on a morning radio show in Atlanta. She was on the show for four years providing entertainment news from 2006 to 2010. She came back last year to do the same thing.”
RAMP has reached out to Entercom corporate for confirmation.
