The Deja Vu Show, nationally syndicated by ABC Audio, springs into summer, adding five new affiliates to its rapidly growing lineup. Affiliates added in May and June included KBXT-FM in Bryan, TX; KISX-FM in Tyler, TX; KSSM-FM in Waco, TX; KMJI-FM in Texarkana, and WRKA-FM in Louisville, KY. These five stations join the robust ABC Audio network of affiliates already carrying The Deja Vu Show including WUKS-FM in Fayetteville, NC; WPWZ-FM in Raleigh, NC; the more recently signed WTUG-FM in the Birmingham DMA; and many others.

“Throughout her career, Deja has drawn high ratings in every market where she’s heard. We’re thrilled that in syndication The Deja Vu Show followed suit and is experiencing the same level of success and rapid growth,” said Heidi Oringer, ABC Audio’s Executive Director of Business Strategy, Programming & Distribution. “Deja’s insightful content and her standout personality draw large, diverse audiences. We’re excited that stations are adding The Deja Vu Show to their lineups and equally excited that she is so favored by advertisers as well.”

• 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. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
