Are you sure you might have confused Wendi with Nina Blackwood from MTV ??? I never knew about Wendi being on any MTV channels, at all..........
I had to dig around to find where I originally got the info, but here it is:
From poster to cable girl (credit: Dallas News, 12/04/1993)
It's been more than four years since Dallas motorists stared at the long legs of disc jockey Wendi Westbrook on Miller Beer billboards. But those who tune in for Monday night's Silk Stockings on USA Cable may see more than her legs.
"My clothes do come off at one point," Wendi says from her West Coast home.
How did this Dallas girl end up in the buff on the small screen? In 1990, Wendi dropped her gigs as a platter plugger at Dallas' now-defunct Y-95 radio and as Miller poster girl. She headed for Hollywood, where she found a last name (in Dallas, she was just Wendi) and a brief stint as an MTV video jock.
These days, Wendi spins stacks of wax (CDs actually) at Los Angeles' KIIS-FM (102.7). Between acting gigs like the Silk Stockings scene, that is. "Of course, they had to tone it down for TV," she says. "But the director's cut was pretty steamy."

Remember that silly contest (the title of it, at least) on KEGL/The Eagle around summer, 1985...called "Money for Nothing and your CHECKS for Free." I don't remember if that was also the Coca-Cola Cash summer, or when they gave away several of those God-awful looking Subaru XT's.
