KCRW-FM Drops ‘Hollywood Wrap’

KCRW-FM (89.9) has canceled “Hollywood Wrap With Nikki Finke,” which aired Mondays at 2:30 p.m.

Finke says the cancellation after two years “came as a complete shock. Not only was I never given any criticism, but they never let me say goodbye on the air.”

Replied KCRW General Manager Ruth Seymour: “We didn’t feel the program was attracting an audience. I don’t throw out popular shows.”

In its place as of this week is “Says You,” a game show produced by WGBH Radio in Boston, which had been airing Friday nights on KCRW. The Santa Monica station will now present National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” from 4 to 7 p.m. Fridays, as it does the rest of the week.
