A similar situation happened locally here a couple years ago-- a radio host said something that taken out of the context it was said in appeared to be 'racist' against the mayor of the city(I heard it live and never connected it until the next week when it was in the news). He got fired. They replaced him with some no-talent hack from central NY. They eventually had to hire the original host back, as the station was suffering considerably from lost ad revenue... Nationally it might not play out the same way, but this certainly happens-- sponsors cry 'fire him' one day, and 'hire him!' the next..... -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
