CBS Radio, Washington, D.C.’s WPGC 95.5 FM has announced that Poet Taylor will begin hosting middays, weekdays from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM beginning Monday, September 18. WPGC 95.5 celebrated its 30th anniversary in June and continues to be one of the most listened to stations in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Poet started her radio career at WERQ-FM in Baltimore after winning a station contest seeking to expand their talent roster. She served as the Executive Producer for the Joe Clair Morning Show on WPGC 95.5 in 2014 and was most recently the Segment Producer of Good Morning Washington on ABC-7 and hosted weekends on WPGC 95.5.

“I am so excited that Poet will be taking over midday fulltime for WPGC 95.5,” said Steve Davis, Vice President of Programming, CBS RADIO Washington, D.C. and Program Director of WPGC. “Poet has been an incredible advocate for WPGC in her part-time role. She is excellent on-air, understands social media and loves the DMV. I have no doubt she will be a great success in middays!”

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white.

That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
