The Q102 Booker Show

Booker's first show on Q102 Philly aired on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 at 6:00 am. On his first show, Booker had a conversation/interview with Howard Stern (who was also live on the air on Sirius at the time). He can be heard weekday mornings from 6:00 am - 10:00 am Eastern along with Q102's Diego and Blaire. Although Q102 does not broadcast to most of the New York and New Jersey area, his morning show can be heard on a live stream on Q102's website.

On Thursday, May 10, 2007 the Booker Show celebrated its first year in Philadelphia.

On May 28, 2007, Booker announced that Jil had been let go from the show and they will be replacing her ASAP. In July Chris Booker officially announced that Angi Taylor, who had been a co-host for previous Q102 morning shows, would return to Q102 and become a new co-host on The Booker Show.

On May 23, 2008, Booker was fired as the morning show host on Q102 in Philadelphia. Booker responded that he was "surprised. Very, very surprised. It's very successful show. I've been fired before for low ratings, but never for being No. 1." The station decided to move to a show that's more music-intensive.

Personal life

Booker has dated Lynda Lopez, the younger sister of Jennifer Lopez. They met in early 2002 at WNEW-FM in New York, where they worked as co-hosts for the morning show. In early 2005 the couple separated.

Booker then dated Caron Bernstein, a former model and singer/songwriter, born in South Africa and from New York. While vacationing in Cape Town, South Africa for the 2006 winter holidays, Booker proposed to Bernstein. However, during the week of March 18th, 2007, Booker announced their relationship had ended for personal reasons. On the November 30, 2007 show, Booker revealed that it was due to cheating and he caught Bernstein very red handed.

He is currently dating Alycia Lane, an ex-KYW CBS3 news anchor who was arrested on December 16, 2007, for allegedly assaulting a New York Police Officer. Booker was riding in a taxicab with Lane, and confronted a slow-moving unmarked police vehicle, which led to a confrontation, Lane's arrest, and her being charged with a felony count of assault in the second degree. The following day CBS3 announced Lane was taking an early vacation and her return date had not been determined. Alycia was terminated by CBS3 on Monday January 7th..
