Just called Sirius and they said Wake up with Taylor no longer airs on SiriusXM????? Said to complain to customer service at Sirius.

FKFriday · 10/16/2017 7:19 am

I haven't listened to her show in about a year, a lot of the IG comments are saying she was fired because of the sexual harassment conversation last week???

Hawr-rible · 10/16/2017 7:33 am

Holy shit, it is gone.....can't find her show anywhere, and it's gone from my list of favorite shows. Damn it, damn it, damn it. I knew this was gonna happen.

BethosGirlSC · 10/16/2017 7:38 am

There was a moment in Friday's show...I can't remember the context, but Taylor said something like "I'm never going to make any decisions again without checking with Katie". Prior to that Katiecsaidcsomething like "Remember what we talked about last night". It was real quick, but caught my attention.

NutsOrNot · 10/16/2017 7:38 am

Noooo!!!!!!!!!!! 😕😕😕😕

I knew contract negotiations were up in October, maybe they just didn’t renew!?!

I was behind on the show so I didn’t get to listen to the sexual harassment convo. What was said that it was that our of line?!! A lot that she says is out of line, but that’s Tay and we love her.

Katie is still on talking to Jenny H (who I want to Effin throat punch she seems happy
over the Taylor news!)

OMG. In total shock.

BethosGirlSC · 10/16/2017 7:40 am

This had to have been sudden. Taylor would have said something! Her IG bio still has Wake Up listed as her gig.

Yeah, because she changed the Getaway link yesterday to the comedy show one, so if she knew she was out of a job, I assume she would have taken down the work info while updating.

I sent an email to Sirius asking why the show was canceled. Will let you guys know if I receive a response (although I would guess some of you will send the same email). I have been listening for at least a decade. Listeners deserve to know why a show is canceled.

But doesn’t Taylor deserve some privacy? If I were fired, I wouldn’t want the whole world knowing why. I want to know as much as anyone, but I don’t think her former employer should give the details.

Agreed...if she was fired (as it appears she might have been), Sirius will stick with a canned response. Whether Taylor will ever address on IG remains to be seen.

WhosBecky? · 10/16/2017 8:08 am

Didn't she say recently that they're coming up on the their 1 year of doing the rotating co-hosts? Maybe they have and she didn't meet her numbers so the show's been cut. That's my guess.
With how well Jenny mccarthy and Maria are doing, I bet there are a ton of d-,c-,b- listers wanting to do a show even at 7am.
I don't even want to think of the calls Katie's having to field this morning on top of Jenny's callers.

FKFriday · 10/16/2017 8:08 am

There are a few posts on Fb where people have email Sirius and they basically just said there is other female programming available and to try that.

Hawr-rible · 10/16/2017 8:22 am

Ugh, other female programming....how condescending. I've tried the both Jennys shows before, I just don't like them. I'm depressed.

"Taylor spoke of being sexual harassed as well as a very wealthy man approached her Taylor for a job to jet her around the world, without knowing her works, and Taylor spoke of her suspicions toward his true intent..said he probably wanted to rape her...she never mentioned his name but I bet he threatened w a lawsuit..and Sirius folded...FREEDOM OF SPEECH SIRIUS! Isn't Sirius based on freedom of speech away from FCC oversight?"

That all seems like a lot of speculation. If Taylor can't explain, would hope Matt would or TD or one of the cohosts.

FKFriday · 10/16/2017 8:43 am

I don't think that's it either, she's told that story so many times.

I did just watch her IG story and she's really happy Saturday, then yesterday morning is about McDonalds and eating her feelings. Whatever happened must have gone down late Saturday/early yesterday I would think?

kbk88 · 10/16/2017 8:43 am

I haven't been around in a while but for some reason something told me to open the site this morning. Wow. I poked around on both Taylors' Instagrams and I saw someone mentioned that Taylor and Kenny should do a podcast....

Ican'teveeeen · 10/16/2017 9:00 am

We may never know exactly why because whatever statement Taylor gives probably won't be the full truth. Just like her divorce. We will only know her side of the story.

MrsGreen · 10/16/2017 9:01 am

I am not renewing my subscription. Wake up is the only reason I had it. Boo!

Natalya07 · 10/16/2017 9:02 am

i just can't believe this!! i'm seriously depressed and it was impossible to get to work this morning

Natalya07 · 10/16/2017 9:15 am

she just updated her IG: "to my beloved listeners, I know you have a million questions & i will answer them as soon as i am able to. Stay tuned here for more updates & info"

Durst_Burp · 10/16/2017 9:32 am

Ugh Jenny keeps calling her "Kate"

micdrop · 10/16/2017 9:40 am

I might listen to Just Jenny (barf) on demand before cancelling because I want to hear what she says. I'm listening to Jenny McCarthy live...I wonder if she'll say anything.

A podcast with Taylor and Kenny would be great! Would also like a podcast with different co-hosts each episode. The show being cancelled makes me realize just how devoted to it I am.

I may have to call Dr. Laura for advice on how to deal. ;)

micdrop · 10/16/2017 9:58 am

that was me that recommended a podcast...at least i was one person that said it. podcast world is where she needs to be! she can get sponsors and do live shows.

NutsOrNot · 10/16/2017 9:58 am

My daughter has a fever so I’m keeping her home from school. One of my friends, a listener I met at the WuWT Christmas party in DC messaged me this morning and said “Uh, where’s Taylor?” So I tuned in on the app as Jenny said Taylor is no longer employed by Sirius XM. My heart broke. Im glad my daughter is sick today, because work wouldn’t be happening.

I hear you BethosGirl but I think when you take on a job as a public figure you should expect fans to be interested when things like this happen. To me it is unfair to the listeners to not provide any reason for a show ending. I wouldn’t expect every little detail to be provided but give us something.

micdrop · 10/16/2017 10:06 am

This sucks. I'm sure she's mortified.
But she will be okay!! She has connections, maybe Andy Cohen can pull her to his channel...idk...it all so political. I really think she should start a podcast asap...Stassi, Kenny, GWNJ, A&C...they can all help her!!!
