MediaBuyerPlanner: Whoopi Goldberg has signed a syndication deal for a morning radio show with Clear Channel Radio, Billboard Radio Monitor reports. "Wake Up with Whoopi" will launch July 31, likely originating in New York, and will air live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m., featuring comedy, listener call-ins, guests and locally programmed music.

The program will be syndicated by CC's Premiere Radio Networks to both Clear Channel and non-Clear Channel stations; the network plans to issue an affiliate list closer to the launch. Goldberg joins Clear Channel's growing list of celebrity radio hosts, including Ryan Seacrest, Ty Pennington, Donald Trump, Jesse Jackson and Steve Harvey.
