PITTSBURGH, PA — Controversial talk show host Wendy Bell has announced she is returning to local radio next week following her abrupt departure from KDKA-AM last fall. Bell stated on social media that she will join conservative talk station WJAS-AM beginning Jan. 25. "America needs common sense conservatism," Bell stated in the Facebook post. "Let's roll!" Bell said she will be on the air from 11 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to noon on Friday. WJAS does not appear to have formally announced the hire on its website or Facebook page. KDKA took the former WTAE-TV anchor off the air in September after she suggested that park rangers should shoot people who vandalize monuments honoring historical figures. In October, the station said KDKA and Bell had agreed to mutually part ways. WJAS is owned by St. Barnabas Broadcasting, a division of the Richland-based St. Barnabas Health System. It features conservative talk show hosts such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dave Ramsey and Mark Levin.
