In 1989, Williams began working at “98.7 Kiss FM” in New York City as a fill-in DJ. Rival station WBLS began hiring away staff from that station, Kiss FM hired her full-time for its morning show and locked her into a non-compete clause contract. She started her trademark of talking about African-American celebrities, and dihing the dirt on their personal lives .A year later, Ms. Williams was moved to her own 6-10 p.m. shift, winning the Billboard Award for Best On-Air Radio Personality in 1993. The following year after her Billboard award Emmis Broadcasting bought out Kiss FM and switched Williams to the company’s Hot 97.

Williams was fired from Hot 97 in 1998 for allegedly getting in a cat fight with her co-worker Angie Martinez, while outing her romantic relationship with rapper Q-Tip. In her New York Times bestselling autobiography Wendy’s Got the Heat, Williams praised Martinez while acknowledging a mostly verbal confrontation. Williams stated that the station used the incident as an excuse to terminate her contract, and suggested that it was really pressure from hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs which led to her dismissal. She alludes to this in her second book The Wendy Williams Experience, as she claimed “He single-handedly tried to ruin me…”.

After the Hot97 incident, Williams was hired by a Philadelphia station WUSL (“Power 99FM”), claiming her New York fans “left her for dead”. In 2001, Williams returned to the New York airwaves when WBLS hired her full-time for her own syndicated 2-6 p.m. Williams is currently the host of her on TV talk show on WWOR and WNYW .
