Statement from WMAL regarding Fred Grandy - March 5, 2010
WMAL did not terminate Fred Grandy's employment, and never had any intention to do so. Fred informed us on March 2 of his intention to resign from the station. To be clear, at no time has WMAL told Fred that he was not allowed to discuss his views on Islam over the air. In fact, he has done so on numerous occasions. Further, WMAL has not been contacted by any organization seeking to restrict his broadcasts.
Bryan Nehman continues to anchor our morning program and in the interim will be joined by several notable guest hosts and regular contributors. WMAL remains committed to its goal of providing a forum for discussing a broad spectrum of issues while delivering compelling programming including Chris Plante, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.
I wish Fred success in his future endeavors.
Jeff Boden
President and General Manager

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Is JD Heyworth taking Fred Grandy’s spot?
No, he’s just a sub as far as I’ve heard, and they’ll be having guest hosts coming in and out until they sort everything out.
From DCRTV.com: “At 2:45 PM on Monday (3/7), Megyn Kelly on Fox News hosted a debate on Fred Grandy’s resignation from WMAL.”
I gotta get the video of this debate!
Any details? Who debated what or if there was a consensus? Megyn has a national show I wonder why she would be interested in this local matter. Chris Plante is almost a regular on her show though so that may be the connection...
I’ll get to a copy of it soon, I hope, and will forward to you. I have no details.
