2009 was a year that Shannon Burke would most likely want to forget: He was fired from his midday talk show on Clear Channel’s WTKS-FM (104.1) in Orlando after he shot his dog during an argument with his wife. The same bullet grazed his wife’s head. He was found guilty of animal cruelty, but received additional jail time for violating terms of his parole on an earlier charge. Now a free man looking to get back on the radio, Burke tells the Orlando Sentinel that “he recently signed the deal” to be on an Orlando-area radio station hosting a conservative talk show in the middays. He said the station has not given him permission to release any further details. Since leaving jail, Burke says he’s been working on repairing his marriage, “attending AA meetings three times a week” and getting his life back together. Burke predicts he will return to radio sometime in July. Read more from Burke’s interview here.
