The Mo’Nique Show Exits Philadelphia
Buried in the middle of a simple format adjustment story out of Philadelphia is the news that Syndication One afternoon talent Mo’Nique has been cancelled. Radio One owned WRNB announced a shift from the traditional Urban AC format to one that focuses on the “R&B of the 90′s and Today” while installing market veteran Lady B as the afternoon talent replacing the syndicated Mo’Nique. Since launching last summer the show has lost two major markets, Los Angeles at KDAY and now Philadelphia. The show has proved to be less than Arbitron PPM friendly and could see even more attrition soon.
Are you folks kidding me. Monique put the “G” on Ghetto.
I’m so glad this bs is off tv…..
Some of you people who stay in different cities are very fortunate and lucky to get alot of good morning and afternoon shows but the people of Houston and Columbus are not so. We loved the show in Houston and I dont know what is wrong with the market down here this is the 4th largest city in the country and we only have two station’s and one is a local rap station which is not funny at all but they are here for the community whick is great and the other is a r&b station that only has Tom Joyner and he is not that funny.I used to listen to the Mo show all the time when I work out at the gym or just sit on my patio and rest. Now in Houston it is boring with the stations. Radio One needs to realy evaluate the markets in Houston and Columbus,OH because we are suffering with great radio shows.
When I turned on the radio and didn’t hear Mo…I didn’t listen to WRNB in the afternoon anymore. I like Lady B but how much old school can you listen to? We are in 2009.We need serious topics, some laughter and some music to keep going. Micheal Baisden and Steve Harvey are OK but not my style. Monique brought funny,crazy and pure realness. Something we all need today.
Indianapolis miss you1 You made us laugh, I feel that you had a message and wisdom with your conversations. Thans You for yhr drive during election and the power that you put out on the air to drive our people. That is why our President of the United States Of American also called in on your station. Mo, you have the drive and the motivation tod whatever you dream. Remeber you must go through some thing to grow! I am sure we will hear from you again, Good Luck1
I haven’t heard about michael B show here in the C.O. Maybe one T.V one at night when I can’t sleep. I Would try to finish dropping off my students so that I could set and hear Mo, sonney, Rodney, & others cut up. Man it would be nice if they would give them another chance. I cryied when I found out. At first I didn’t get it because of my road rage issues (Man they just can’t drive!) I looked forward to hearing them because they were my outlet. I felt like they were talking to me. I wish they could of seen the looks I got on my school bus L.M.A.O! Love Yaw!
Although I wasn’t as into the show as many, it was growing on me! Living in Indy, the radio stations suck, and Mo was something new and different.
Best to Luck in all your future projects!
mo i am just finding out that your show was cancelled i didn know i am so upset im in houston and i look forward to listening to your show at 2:00 i thought you were a great listener you felt people pain you let people know that you cared about what they were going thru alot people said that rodney was the reason for you losing your show but people all ways want to say things negative because there are so many haters in the world rodney is a comedian dont they understand that,but anyway you will be greatly missed i hope to hear you again and i look forward to seeing you in your next movie or stand up show you will rise above this keep your head up you have more people with for you than against you because you are gods child and he holds your future in his hand not nobody else stay prayed up love always kisha from houston
I stop listening to the radio, I am back to my cd’s and mp3′s, while driving to and from work.
I hope the whom ever pull Monique for the radio, loose more sponsership.
I just want to say that I loved the Monique show. I looked forward to that after a hard day of work. Knowing that I have someone to call if it was something on my mind. It was like getting in the car with things on your mind and they all be gone once I get home. It takes me an hour to get home. So, I needed the up lifting. Now I just throw a cd in hoping that will help. That was so wrong what was done about the show. I did not get a warning or nothing. Monique if you are reading this. I just want to say I Love You and there are people who miss your show.
Former 102.3 listener (Alexandria,Va.)Was very shock and disappointed Mo’Nique Show was cancelled.I thought they were on a special project until I went on the internet.Hope they bring them back.So I’m back to Michael Baisden.
I AM IN SHOCK!!! FOR THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, WASN’T SURE WHAT TO THINK, MAYBE THEY WERE IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS OR SOMETHING. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT, I LOVED YOUR SHOW GIRL AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FUTURE. I’M SURE SOMEONE WILL PICK IT BACK UP SOON. JUST TOTALLY HURT BY THIS. MISS YOU!!!
I’m am extremely happy that this ignorant garbage is off the air. I’m opposed to syndication on the radio. What sells in NC,SC, Miss. don’t sell in certain marks. Now I hope Steve Harvey, Tom Joyner and Baisden are next! All I want is good music and intelligent conversation! All I can say is thank God for my IPOD!
Well, Miss Monique is gone from the DC airwaves. On my drive home I rather not hear a lot of loud noise. Therefore, I listen to news radio or if I am feeling the holy spirit. I listen to praise music.
I was shocked to discover that her show was cancelled. I really enjoyed listening to it on the way home. I wish her nothing but the best.
MONIQUE,
THEY CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR RADIO SHOW BUT NOT YOUR OVERALL SUCCESS!!!!!!
YOU WILL BE MISSED.
Former 102.3 D.C. Listener
Mo, I will miss you in Houston, TX. You all would talk about funny things that I am sure kept people laughing when they did no have anything else to laugh about. I did enjoy Sonny Andre and we all wanted to know why he left the show. I know you will find something else and will be even better.
I think the station needs to rethink your cancellation and bring you back

Monique’s topics were not ones that should have been played in the time slot given. I an not certain whose bright ideal it was to even put Monique on the air; was someone setting her up to fail? Was someone just wanting to see her make a complete butt of herself and her radio partners? Hopefully, the next time Monique won’t be so gullible and jump at everything which is put in front of her.What is really sad is regardless of how much money she makes you will never be able to take the ghetto out of her; and unfortunately that is what a lot of carcausins what to see from us; and she fell for it.
Don’t hate – I think the Monique show was very entertaining on occassion. However I do think someone should have explained the sudden departure of Sonny Andre. However, the bottom line is – with Moniques compassion for the people she was able to touch so many lives. She allowed herself to be used and to be a light in someones dark life. If she is never on the air again in radio, she has served her purpose. As we all know, seasons change. I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Monique.
Who makes your decisions, you people go from one extreme to the other. You just yank these people off the radio with no warning. You know what, I might just start listening to my iPod and the hell with you people, radio execs who ever the hell you are.
I turned on my radio no MO
I will not listen to 102.3 the same music plays all dam day long bring her back….
Shame on all of you negative people. If you didn’t like the show, there was a simple solution- don’t listen. The show was my 3pm saving grace and sanity. Sure they were a bit ‘hood’ at times, but that was half the charm. Granted I never understood why individuals were referred to as “board of director”, rather than simply a director. Nonetheless, we knew what they were talking about. The show definitely helped breakup the monotony of accounting. Oh well, on the upside I’ve been able to listen to NPR :~Z
OMG, I cannot believe there is no more Monique. There was no notice on WRNB in Philadelphia that she was going off the air. They just changed their format. I stopped listening to them at 3 p.m. because Lady B is just too GHETTO for me. Monique was funny and inspirational. I was able to listen to her online but now there is nothing. It is a sad day that positive shows are canceled and you are forced to listen to crap. I use to like the Baisden show but he is too damn depressing and always putting people down if they don’t agree with his ignorant opinions. Don’t give up Monique, you have a gift to make people feel better. Keep moving forward. People united together can make a difference and not follow what a small group tries to enforce. If everyone that has posted a comment truly feels that way about Monique then everyone needs to boycott their radio stations and TURN THEM OFF!!!
THEY ARE OUT OF THEIR DAM MINDS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. YOU ARE CANCELLED MONIQUE. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR THE SAME DAM MUSIC OVER AND OVER WITH NO INSPIRATION BEHIND IT AND I SURE AS HE DON WANT TO LISTEN TO MICHEAL BASIN ANY MORE. I GUESS THE SALES OF CD’S WILL GO UP B/C THERE IS OFFICIALLY ABSOULTELY POSITIVELY NO ONE ELSE TO LISTEN TO ON THE RADIO. MO-NIQUE PLEAASSSSSEEEEEEEE COME BACK.
Hey Mo, it is certainly too quite and boring around here at 3:00 PM in the afternoon on the Radio 98.9 here in Columbus, Ohio. We certainly miss you, your crew and your show and all the realness that you brought with you to the tabel. No one dose reality like you Mo! You,your crew, Ms. Kim, your comedian Co-host Rodney, Kady K,and the Board of Directors certainly put your cards on the tabel and that is what life is all about. Dealing with the cards you are givin, and making the best out of all four Aces. Using you imagination, and thinking out side the box for the rest of the deck, to make life work out as best as you can. This is the lessons you taught in your show. We know you are going to move on to bigger and better things MO, because that is who you are and what you are made of. You are a survivor just like me. You have certainly been an inspiration to many, a voice for those who would normaly not be heard,and you offered counsel,advice to those who had no one to advise them by bringing in your professionals such as Les Brown, President Obama, Cornel West, and a host of other educators and entertainers to assist you and your crew in questions and answers that maybe you did not have. And that ‘s what we do, surround ourselves with those who have answers that we may not have. You ran a great Gamut of a Show Mo, the distance or extent between possible extremes is the range you ran for the time you were given .The people are going to miss you and so am I. I do wish you well in all your new endevors. Good luck with your family and the rest of your journey. You are bless with the leadership and companionship of your Savvy, inteligent, analytical thinking, charismatic,husband” Sidney” who seems to still have chivalry when it come to knowing how to treat his lovely wife and family. He also compliments you very well as your mate. Mo, you have a gift to be able to communicate with many types of personalities in any given social setting, kepp grwowing,and you have been blessed, and lucky in doing so. You have came a long ways and we love and miss you. Please let me know how you are doing. keep on climing to the top, keeping the faith. Forget about those hypercrital, judgemental, arrogant, obnoxious people and flack that you will receive from this new temporary status. And that is what it is (temporary). This happen stance is a stepping stone for bigger and better things coming your way. You are a down to earth real lady, then all of your other attributes fall in place and we are proud of you. Good Luck in your new endevors and dreams, and God Bless. Continue to visualize your goals, execute your plan, and keep on making it happen! Board of Director Ms. Anna Williams. I was the lady in Columbus, Ohio the frist day you were on broadcasting on the radio who you let me anounced my business “Errands By Anna” A Personal Assistant Service over The Radio a small advertisement.
Thanks for being there!
All The best Mo,

102.3-DC. I found out yesterday that Monique’s show was cancelled. I enjoyed (toggled between her and Michael Baisden). I am also a fan of her comedy, although I am not a ‘phat girl’ – she’s loud & proud. We need more laughter in this world and ‘being silly & funny’ from time to time never hurt nobody. I hope to see/hear her again in the future.
I am glad the show was cancelled Monique did too much talking on her show, about nothing. Not to mention nobody cares about her husband considering she has had more than one. Her subject matter was stupid.
However, I do enjoy her performances in movies.
I FOUND THE SHOW TO BE A DISTRACTION ,INTERUPTION TO MY AFTERNOONS WOW! I KNEW THIS WOULD FINALLY HAPPEN I’VE NEVER BEEN A FAN OF “SISTER PIGGY” GOOD BYE NOW MAYBE WE CAN GET BACK TO INTELLIGENT BLACK RADIO SHE TRIED BUT UNDER ALL THAT FAT SHE’S STILL GHETTO.
I THINK HER SHOW LACK SUBSTANCE AND TO ME I JUST THINK THE FAT SISTER WAS PHONY AND FOR THE MOST PART THE SUJECT MATTER WAS IGNORANT.
I truly like listening to the Monique Show. I was upset when Sonny Andre was let go. Rodney was funny but rude to listeners.
This was the most that the co-host Kim has been heard. Kim was working her way up..a long way from..Tom Joyner days
I will miss the show. Cincinnati needs an afternoon show!!!!!
THANKS YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! MONIQUE IS OFF THE RADIO IN DC… MAYBE THERE IS A god!!!!!
I think her show would be better if it was on satillite radio.
Okay…I am totally devastated. What…when…where, WHY…HOW??? I am not sure WHY Moniq’s show was cancelled – but I’m SURE it has to do with the fact that somebody can’t deal with “truth” and openess. As it has once been said…”you will KNOW the truth…and the TRUTH…will set you free! And somebody didn’t like that fact that “we” were being set free. Moniq’s show was a afternoon delight for me, and I looked forward to listening to her candidness, and at the same time, here sensitive and non-judgemental approach to the concerns of her “board of directors”. There’s a lot I don’t know in this life..but ONE thing I do know – I WON’T be listening to Magic 102.1 in the afternoon anymore. Boring as hell without Moniq’.
I hate they cancelled the show. I actually liked it and thought it was very funny. Even though I didn’t like it on Fridays when she had Sidney on, I liked the format of the show. I didn’t listen to it on Friday so I didn’t know it got cancelled until I read MediaTakeOut. The show will definitely be missed in Houston. Now I’ll nothing to listen to in the afternoons. It sucks here in Houston because there aren’t many black radio stations or shows to listen to. And I do agree with everyone about Sonny Andre. I liked him better. Rodney was funny but he did cut people off which I thought was rude. Kim, in my opinion, was classy and I luved Monique. I wish them nothing but the best.
That’s what she gets for letn Sonny Andre go. The show was tooooooo busy. We are glad n houston to have the majic back n the majic
I also like Mo with Sonny. For whatever the reason she should have told us something. The show was just toooooo busy with Kim and Mr cut them off, smart mouth Rodney. I’m not the only one that feels this way
Oh, watch out for “Morning Joe” that show is losing its juice too, very quickly I might add.
I don’t know what happen but even though I don’t really like FOX. “Fox and Friends” can be interesting.
So Joe, Mica and Willie get that train to choo chooing again.
Monique and Sunny Andre’ had that “Sonny and Cher” appeal. But after he left, “Monique in the Afternoon” lost its juice.
I wish them the best.
Free at last free at last, thank God almighty we free at last!
DON’T BE FOOLED! I totally agree with HTownGirl. I too live in Houston and I loved the show (AT FIRST) but from what I heard from another radio personality was that Mo’Nique was the reason why Sonny got fired, so that’s why there was NO explanation. She felt that he was upstaging her so she asked for a new co-host. He brought calmness and balance to that chaotic mess of a show, but that’s where she went wrong if this is true. But if my memory serves me correctly, hasn’t he been in radio for like 20 years??? She could have learned so much from him, but she thinks she knows it all! And I never understood “bathroom talk” what the crap??? (haa haaaaaaaaa that!) Loosing Sonny was the biggest mistake ever! But maybe it was his blessing in disguise. Rodney WAS and IS NOT FUNNY, he was rude as hell to callers and all that crying she did was annoying. I stopped listening months ago and everybody that I know here in Houston did the same. I was routing for the show because there are only TWO doggone stations here in big @#$& HOUSTON!!!! I know that she wanted to come across as real, but REALLY she’s a fake and a phony. All this time she dragged for skinny women and now she’s “getting healthy”??? okay, like we’re stupid or something…heifer you’re getting skinny! And to hear her on Friday (3/13/09 date of departure, thank ya!)try to justify why she doesn’t shave those grizzly bear-ish legs was a joke in itself! She may not want to conform to Hollyweird and that’s fine, but heck conform to being a woman. Sophisticated and well kept! Y’all know that crap was ri-dam-diculous!!!! And didn’t she get on Fred (the owner of MediaTakeout) for talking about her hairy legs on his website???? Can you say…..Hypocrite? I am sooooo glad the show is gone!! I wish to Moses we got Michael Baisden down here. Houston radio stations SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate it here.
The show has not been the same since she let go of Sonny Andre and let that clown Rodney Perry take over. I’m glad we don’t have to listen to it anymore.
OMG,I missed the show this past friday but my cousin told me that they cancelled the MoShow. Hate to hear that. I didn’t listen everday, somedays they got on my nerves But for the most part I did like to listen to them and depended on listening to the topics on my way home. I liked rodney thought he was pretty funny. Hate to hear that the show is no more.
Since radioone is cleaning house, maybe than can get rid of the Russ Parr Morning show too and Jay Rio in the afternoon. He’s not sydicated but dang his voice makes my ears hurt.
I WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THE SHOW WAS CANCELLED…??? I ENJOYED LISTENING EVERYDAY IT WAS ENLIGHTENING AND HAD A GREAT FORMAT. HOWEVER, RODNEY WORKED MY NERVES, HE WAS TOO RUDE TO CALLERS, I LIKED KIM SHE WAS CLASSY, AND MONIQUE YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, SONNY ANDRE’S DEPARTURE WAS ABRUPT WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION.
What is really going on. I was truly crushed when I heard that Monique was going off the air (102.3). That show was my laughter going home. I also didn’t like how they cut her off in the middle of saying her good bye’s. They took her off an hour early and had to find some funky music to play for that hour. I will never listen to 102.3 again. Bring Monique BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!
QUE PASO MONIQUE? I AM STILL IN DISBELIEF IN REGARD TO THE CANCELLATION OF YOUR HOUSTON RADIO TALK SHOW. IT HAS BEEN INTRIGUING LISTENING TO YOU AND YOUR SIGNIFICANT SOUL MATE MONIQUE. YOU REMAIN AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND I EXTEND WARM WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. KEEP YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH BECAUSE YOU ARE TRULY A BLESSING FROM GOD!
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
“AMAZING” GRACE YVONNE SAULS

nooooooooooooooooo BRANG HER BACK! DAMN FIRST THE SOPRANOS, THEN THE WIRE, THEN THE L WORD NOW MO’ WTF IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO….HTOWN
We just lost the show this past Friday. I heard her closing remarks and she was in tears which had me in tears. We will truely miss her hear in Indy. What is Radio One thinking? Her show was such an inspiration. There were day’s I would leave work and laugh or cry. Either way her entertaining spirit will be truely missed. I love U Mo!
I WAS SHOCK TO FIND OUT THAT THE MONIQUE SHOW WAS GOING OFF THE AIR. I LOOKED FORWARD TO LISTENING IN EVERYDAY. SOME OF THE TOPICS WERE SO ENLIGHTENING, INFORMATIVE AND INSPIRATIONAL. I WOULD TELL MY FAMILY IN NEW ORLEANS ABOUT THE SHOW ALL THE TIME. MONIQUE, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH, YOU TOUCHED MANY LIVES IN A POSITIVE WAY. GOOD LUCK TO YOU IN ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Sister M, is talented, engaging, funny and compasionate. For 15years Conan has been on tv, he isn’t funny at all! And now he’s moving further up the ladder,how can this be. I believe a vote should be made and then we’ll see if sister M should return. I wonder if this has anything to do with her being a sister.One of the black male air personalities who has a show, should be taken off the air….but I won’t mention the name…..He’s certainly isn’t that articulate…..I wish the sister well. I’ll miss her…blessings. LeCount Holmes,Jr.
i love you mo. im a bus driver and i look forward going to work just to listen to mo and rodney. we all should write in to get the show back on the air. we need this show in a time of saddness. laughing and realizing that you are not the only one who thinks the way you do is refreashing
I was devastated when I heard Monique announce that Friday, March 13th was the last Monique Show in Houston. I just wish Sonny Andre was still a part of the show. Rodney Perry did his best but he just didn’t do a good job. He was rude to the callers and he made fun of a lot of people. That wasn’t nice at all. I think that brought the ratings down tremendously.
I was completely shocked to hear that the Monique Show was cancelled. I so looked forward to hearing her show after a long day of work. I especially LOVED the Bathroom Talk with her & Sidney!! Their love and respect for one another just ooozed through the radio for me, and I so loved it. With the Beautiful Love we have in the White House, and then to have it on the air . . . It was so refreshing and encouraging to witness. Nothing against M. Baisden, just some days his show is just too much to take when trying to unwind. I know God is the architect for our lives and he has GREAT things outlined for Monique & Crew. God Bless!!
Ill miss her show.It was down to earth.
I was shocked to learn that the Monique Show was cancelled. In the beginning when it came on, I was like what kind of Ghetto Radio is this? After tunning in for a few weeks, I began to reallly enjoy it. It saddens me that this has happen. Monique and the Crew know that God is with you and he does not make mistakes. Where one door closes another one opens. Remember we serve an awesome God and there is NONE GREATER. Hear from you soon. God Bless!
i will miss the Monique show.It was better with Sonny andre and Monique-not Rodney Perry
What kind of ignorance is this!!! You know unity got our President elected, and we can get behind Mo-Nique so she can get another radio show or get someone with the same inspirational feel. Times are hard, we need someone to make us laugh, symphathize and lift us up if we are not getting it elsewhere. The Monique show was a COMMUNITY, a village we could live in together, laugh together, share our troubles. Come on!!!!! Money cant always be the top priority, people!!!
what happened…..why did they take Monique off the air ??
Its sad…but why did the show get cancelled????….I looked forward to that after a long day of teaching…
Iam going to miss monique she would make me laugh and cry. I thought rodney perry hurt her show a lot. he got on my nerves with that rev. ain’t saying nothing i would turn the station when he did that. i think kim was starting to take the show over to much to and she got on my nerve. i like the chemistry with monique and sonny andre.
I truly will miss the Monique show. I have a long commute home and loved to listen to her inspirational topics. I started listening to her show since she started when I was going through the biggest challenge of my life. I have listened to her throughout and I swear the times when I really needed to hear some things she came through. She spoke to me and helped me see things and change me to be a better person. For that I thank her. She does not know what she has done to touch my life and if I never get the chance to meet her I want her to know now that I thank her. She truly is a beautiful woman, that god has shined on and she has a lot to share with the world. God put her on the air for a reason, and I am living proof of why. Thank you Monique from the bottom of my heart for all that you have shared and given to the world.
Monique is funny but she is way too emotional. I’m in Cinciinati and I guess this is her last show on right now and they’re all crying!!! That’s just crazy!!! She can get another show or do stand up she’s funnty as hell!!! But when they do that opening “The Monique Show… HA HA!!” I turn the station every time!!! I know I’m not the only person that couldn’t stand that!! MONIQUE… Do an internet radio show through your website!!! LOVE YOU!!
I was devastated when I heard that Monique was canceled. Her show was real not rehearsed and she always hit home with all her topics. I guess I’ll be listening to her online now. Luv ya Mo.
Sandra
Monique did too much talking on her show, about nothing. I really didn’t like her show, but I gave her a chance. Seeing the things Mo touched in the past, I know that show could have been better. She needs to get with Steve Harvey, his show is the best.
I’m sorry but dropping Monique was a mistake. I used to listen to Wendy but her show thrived on negativity so I had to stop. I enjoyed listening to Mo and would alternate between her and Baisden. I had a friend visiting from NC and she was so taken with the positivity of Mo’s show. Like someone else posted, we get more than enough of the music, hearing the same songs everyday. Ah well,
WRNB, I still listen in the morning but other than that, my radio’s off.
I didn’t mean she was going to fail. But she was set UP to fail
being opposite and having the same time slot. Who’s bright idea was that?
I usually lisened to both Micheal
and Mo. I liked the diversity of the of the two host,but I could never understand why she was put
head to head with Micheal Baisden.
Looks like she was set to fail!
I am sick and tired of MoNique and Mike Basden. All they do is run their mouths about absolute nonsense. PLEASE! PLEASE! take these clowns off the radio and put the MUSIC BACK!!!
Iam so glad to hear that the people of Philly, woke up to this nonsense radio show. What has happen to radio PLAYING MUSIC?
I admired monique for her creativity and style. She has personality but it seems to be for sale. I enjoyed the first week of her show but it went to trash after that. I liked the show on teenage pregnacy when people called in with real ideas and help. We don’t need help with trach Mo. You were so all over the place that no one knows who you are anymore. Letting Sony Go? Bad move. You’ve got so much. Take a stand for something. You lost ground with that all over the place show.
I am shocked about the decision to cancel Monique’s show. Apparently someone is trying to do 105.3 a favor. I had gotten hooked on the show. The drive home time is talk radio time and not ordinary music time. I hope every chance was given to the show. The station has lost me as a devoted listener.
Monique was hilarious. Just what Philly needed. Now it’s back to boredom with out her. Truely gifted woman get no respect.
Lady B? Pleez ;-( I don’t think so!
Bad move, Monique was funny, smart and talented. Philadelphia loves her.
Monique is sweet, but that show needs sonny andre, her new co-host is not funny, he insults the listeners. sonny balanced the show he was not a comedian, now you have monique and rodney perry competing for laughs, wake up Mo…
bring back SONNY
It’s tragic that Monique in the afternoon show had been cancelled here in Philly!!! That show often uplifts my spirits when my day and current world wasn’t so bright. Monique medicine in the form of compassion with a big dose of laughter will be missed!!
Mo must have had quite an impact in Philly in a short time…positive and negative. This story has gotten more response on this site than Wendy Williams and Opie and Anthony.
Mo was and is always funny but never quite had the right co-host…. Neither added that something special and I belive turned listeners off… Sorry Mo… I’m going to miss you in Philly!
I will truly miss Mo, she was very funny and also compassionate. If your bringing Lady B back at 3:00 please let her play the sounds she is known for, makes me dance while sitting in my car and cooking at home.
Walt,
I was thinking the same thing. She could not compete with M. Baisden. He is a powerful force (like him or not) in afternoons, and he has been on the radio for more than 5 years, so it he has already captured a very large, diverse audience. I saw this coming. Good luck Monique, with whatever you do!
face it folks…the ratings werent there. Mo’s funny but she couldnt compete with Micheal Baisden
Wow. I just found out from a friend yesterday. I hadn’t had a chance to catch her show much this week, and wasn’t aware that she was gone. That had to be the shortest lived radio program ever. I don’t think that she was on in Philadelphia for a year, but I could be wrong.
I kinda stop listening to The Monique Show when Sonny Andre left; I love Monique the person, but she needed Sonny Andre on that show; Rodney Perry was not cutting it. Oh well, I’m a huge fan of Lady B. I guess I’ll bounce between Lady B and Michael Baisden Show.
All I want to say is this was a very very bad move. Not only discontinuing Monique but you decided to limit Laby B to 90′s music. I want to sleep when I listen to your station. BORING. I am so disappointed.
Well I’ll start bringing my CDs with me on my way home from work…..I like Lady B but she is not Monique. I will really miss her. In for the record I’m done with the Philly radio stations
It took me a while to get into Mo’s show, but, being a fan of Mo’s other ventures, I gave it some time and patience. Result: I found the show to be very capable in terms of empowering it’s targeted listeners. Opinion: Bad business move! What’s more, I suspect the decision to go 90s and Today will prove damaging to listenership. I won’t listen as much. I was absolutely committed to WRNB’s evening programming, looking forward to all old school, not merely the 90s.
just to correct my comment about Mrs. Monique show I ment to say i truely miss her “FREE YOUR MIND FRIDAY” THANK YOU
LOVE U MO
I will truely miss listening to Mrs. Monique in the afternoon. her show was a wonderful inspiration to me and the way she made you laugh with her freedom friday shows which were the best to me. You all should really reconsider putting Mrs. Monique back for she will be truely missed by alot of her fans. Mrs. Mo keep your head up and continue to be blessed. love ya
This is truly a travesty and Syndication One seriously needs to reevaluate their decision to cancel this phenomenal show. Not only was it a source of entertainment, it was also a source of information, imagination, encouragement,empowerment, and much needed laughter on the down-slope of the workday for so many people. Mo’Nique fostered a sense of community in her “no-judgment zone” that has been equaled by very few others in radio. Bad decision, Syndication One. Guess I’ll start bringing my CDs to work with me because there’s not much to look forward to on the radio anymore.
I also crashed my car when I turned on my radio and there was no Mo’Nique. First, Wendy Williams and now Mo. Some of us here enough of the same old music which is constantly looped thru out the day. Those deep sometimes funny conversations was something I looked forward too. I will truely miss my Mo.
