Bell back on TV
February 1, 2022Wendy Bell is back on TV – national TV. The much ballyhooed conservative talk show host has a weekend gig on Newsmax Media
The program called “Wendy Bell Common Sense” airs at 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 3:30 p.m. on Sundays. Bell claims, “People are hungry for common sense in this country, and that’s what this new program is all about.”
Bell was an anchor at WTAE until she was fired in 2016 for some bold statements she made on a social media post in regard to a shooting in Wilkinsburg, not far from the station’s studios. KDKA-AM (1020) took a chance on hiring her in 2018 for afternoon drive, but that came to an end in late summer 2020 when another social media post did not go over well with the public. Then early last year, after a few months on WJAS (1320), Bell was let go again. Sources told PBRTV that she would not allow St. Barnabas Broadcasting to have control over her “brand.” A short time later, Rose Somma-Tennant was released from the station for similar reasons.
Bell has been doing radio from an undisclosed location in Pittsburgh and on the air on Lightner Communications stations and online.
The conservative talk is jam packed these day with lots of quality hosts and there aren’t enough stations to run them all. I’d like to see a station that would commit to running all local talk, then they would have the flexibility to add new shows without stopping national shows like Glenn Beck and Dan Bongino. Lots of people want to hear those, and Bongino is a rising star, the closest thing to Rush Limbaugh, and he should be solidly on the air here.
Good for Wendy, she’s a driven personality and should have her space, and I hope she makes it with a national audience.

Liberals don’t like her, do they 🙂
