WGR evening host Brad Riter has been let go by the all-sports station. Greg Ried, the general manager of WGR and all Entercom stations, confirmed Riter no longer works for the station.
Ried declined to say why Riter was let go, but a source said Riter was fired after he failed to show for a Monday morning program after he was previously warned about it. For now, WGR will use staffers to fill in for Riter, who primarily works the evening shift.
On a separate matter, Ried said he would be willing to talk with former Channel 7 sports director John Murphy if Murphy’s deal with Citadel Broadcasting, the owner of Bills station 97 Rock, would allow him to work for both radio companies.
“He’s got a lot of name recognition and equity in the marketplace,” Ried said.
However, it is doubtful that Citadel or the Bills would allow Murphy to work for a station that regularly bashes the NFL team. — Alan Pergament
Riter was the only positive guy at WGR, Murphy would never join WGR he's to much of a
