Washington, D.C. radio station WMAL is once again being accused of firing a popular talk show host because of his criticism of radical Muslims. The station, a major source of news and information for the nation’s capital, claims that popular morning host Fred Grandy resigned on his own, but Grandy tells AIM that he was essentially forced to leave after his wife, who is also outspoken about radical Islam, was cut from the program...........

Tonight, subbing for Chris Plante, is 630WMAL's own Bryan Nehman, news personality of the "Grandy & Andy Morning Show". This is the first time Bryan has been tapped to host Plante's evening show. Silvie Waldorf MD hosts this thread to support her bud the rookie in his new endeavor. He'll be on tonight from 8-10 p.m. and live through the web at www.630wmal.com (Click on "Chris Plante Listen Now").

Fred Grandy (a.k.a Gopher from "The Love Boat) and Andy Parks are out. FishbowlDC sources have confirmed and DCRTV (www.dcrtv.com) is reporting that WMAL's (630 AM) duo has been fired. Grandy is a former Republican member of Congress. It won't happen immediately -- their end date is still up in the air. The news has been circulating at the station all day long. Word has it that corporate-wide cuts of the most expensive employees are necessary to save money. Station manager Paul Duckworth did not return a phone request for comment at FBDC press time.

Good Morning! Chris Plante will be talking about THE WAR ON TERROR today.

You spoke (man did you speak,) and we listened (finally!) We received thousands and thousands and thousands of emails, phone calls and letters... even a few smoke signals (OK, maybe not that last thing,) and they all said the same thing: WE... WANT... CHRIS!! Thank God for second chances and persistent listeners like you. Please join us in welcoming back a conservative’s conservative, Chris Plante to the 9am-noon slot, beginning Monday. He’s always insightful, often outspoken, frequently fearless and predictably unpredictable, but be forewarned... Chris hasn’t spoken in 6 months... he has a LOT to say. Thanks for your patience....

Beginning Monday, we welcome a name and voice familiar to many of you, deliver MORE from your favorite morning team, and say goodbye to a good friend and top-notch talk show host. On Monday, the Grandy and Andy Morning Show will expand to 5 hours! The Grandy and Andy magic starts at 5am and won’t stop until 10am (or slightly earlier if Fred starts to choke on his daily ration of mixed nuts.) Between 5 and 9am, it’s all of the great stuff you’re accustomed to: 20 minutes of news and views commercial free at the top of every hour,...

The Austin Hill Show 10.23.08 - Talking about Civil unrest and assaulted McCain supporter

Last night, during Austin Hill's radio show on 630 WMAL in Washington, DC, a caller named Max from Arlington (VA) called in suggesting that Americans grab their plungers (a sanitized one, please!) and march at the Washington Mall with plungers in hand and in support of John McCain and Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber -- and to reject the Democratic Congress and also Barack Obama and his absurd tax policies. I thought it was an excellent call and a great idea! E-mail Austin at the link provided if you're interested in this.

<p>The difference between going through a Sunday as a married woman versus as a single gal is striking. First of all, in my single hood days in D.C., I’d be arriving back at my condo in the wee hours of the morning and would sleep and nurse a hangover for the rest of the day. As a married woman and mom in suburban Maryland, my Sundays are quiet and mainly consist of doing things with my family or around the house. However, during football season my husband and son normally get involved with sports and “NFL Sunday” for the whole day, giving me precious time to myself. During this “precious time”, I read the newspapers, watch news programs on T.V. and other media, and listen to talk radio for the entire afternoon and evening. Until recently.</p>

All right, 630 WMAL fans! Here's the latest scoop from the DCRTV.org blog [i.e. "rag"]-- Hannity To 3WT? TNT's Talkers To MAL & 3WT? - 6/3 - When we asked a top 3WTer about whether the Bonneville talker was talking to afternoon righty talk radio icon Sean Hannity, we were met with dead silence. Not a denial. Which makes us really wonder if there's some truth to the rumors that Hannity may soon be bolting from Citadel's family of stations, including WMAL. Also, it appears that Hannity could be talking to Fox or Premiere or Mark Masters about taking over...

Citadel Cuts MAL's Core & More - 2/29 - DCRTV gets confirmation: Longtime DC radio talker Chris Core has been let go from Citadel talker WMAL, which has promptly erased him from its 630wmal.com website, including its program schedule (right). We're told that it was "not personal," just "part of a massive cutback country-wide by Citadel." Core has worked at WMAL more than two decades, doing the Bill "Trumbull And Core" afternoon show in the 1980s. And there are rumblings of more cuts at Citadel's three DC stations - WMAL, WRQX, and WJZW - including the latter's entire airstaff (see...

The supporter, friends and well wishers of Washington DC 630 WMAL's Michael Graham, are gathering at the Montgomery County fairgrounds http://www.mcagfair.com/directions.htm to protest the station's suspension of Graham over his comments on Islam. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michael/graham072805.php3. Graham was originally on vacation/suspension for a week, but has not been heard since his supposed return on Monday, August 8th, even though WMAL's line-up still features him and he is heard in the advertisements. http://www.630wmal.com. Critics of Graham's suspension including SupportMichaelGraham.com point out that no action was taken untill the Coalition on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained to the station about Graham's apparent 'hate speech',...
