The talk station also says that "at no time has WMAL told [morning personality Fred Grandy] that he was not allowed to discuss his views on Islam over the air." WMAL (630) general manager Jeff Boden has faced criticism from some conservatives over charges that the host of "The Grandy Group" was told to muffle his talk about "radical Islam." Here is the statement issued by WMAL over the weekend:

"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, WMAL."
