The Pit Bull of Conservative talk radio, Michael Savage is off the air.
From the San Francisco Chronicle: Michael Savage's
talk show left the airwaves Thursday after the conservative host won a
legal battle with his longtime employer, although his attorney said
discussions with new networks are already under way.
Savage
posted a message on his website Thursday evening under the headline
"Free at Last!" that said he was free to work with any station or
network from now on. He said he "will not be heard on the radio for
some time."
His attorney Daniel Horowitz said Savage left Talk Radio Network after obtaining a favorable ruling in arbitration Thursday afternoon.
More than 8 million people listen to Savage's show each week, placing him behind only Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity
in ratings, according to the magazine Talkers. The immediate effect
that his abrupt departure would have on companies that advertise on his
show was unclear.
An
email sent to Oregon-based Talk Radio Network was not immediately
returned. Savage's bio and name already have been removed from the
company's website.
Horowitz
says Savage has been fighting the network for two years to get out a
contract that was 10 years old and prevented the host from switching
employers. Horowitz said the agreement lacked protections afforded to
artists and entertainers under California law, and tied Savage to Talk
Radio Network indefinitely.
