Fred Grandy's Washington, D.C. non-compete with Citadel lasts through May '12
The reasons for the exit of the "Grandy Group" principal from talk WMAL (630) are in dispute, but his wife, Catherine Mann-Grandy, tells Fox News that the result is that he isn't allowed on the air in the D.C. market for another 14 months. She says she and Fred would like create a talk show focusing on radical Islam, and the degree to which she says it has penetrated the ranks of people who work in government. Mann-Grandy says her own regular appearances on her husband's morning show talking about supposed “Shariah-compliant” people triggered the showdown that led to his exit. According to her, WMAL asked Fred to de-emphasize the radical Islam angle and to keep her off the show. Citadel has a different version of the story: “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.” On a related point, Citadel also says WMAL “has not been contacted by any organization seeking to restrict his broadcasts.”
