KBLX-San Francisco Operations & Program Director made a huge mistake over (30) years ago that he finally made better. While Smith was the program director of former radio station WILD AM 1090, Boston, talk show queen, Wendy Williams was a student at Northeastern University in Boston. She wanted to work for him as a DJ. but Smith decided not to hire her. On Friday, Elroy apologized to Wendy in front of a KBLX live audience. See video:

Smith states, “This was a very special moment when I genuinely expressed to Wendy my apology. I remember hearing her on her college station WRBB. I thought that she was compelling at that time, which was in 1985. To date, I just do not remember why I rejected her. If I had to do it over again, I am certain that my decision would be totally different. A true lesson learned.”
