Oh... double suckage. I'm surprised to hear she's divorced, because in a March 2010 e-mail to me she mentioned her "new hubby" in passing. So apparently that marriage didn't last very long. Any idea on why she was fired? Low ratings so hang the DJ?
She married a friend of Renee's husband. Apparently he had issues. I can't really say more than that.
New manager came in to the Entercom SF "cluster" (more like "clusterfuck", heh), and he replaced the guy who hired her, which is never good. He decided they needed a new direction. I suspect the previous guy thought they would target women turned off by Lamont and Toe-nail-y and saw AL as a way to do that... meanwhile a lot of their listeners never forgave them for getting rid of Greg Kihn.
The radio equivalent of being in a band that gets signed to a record deal, and then having the A&R guy (or gal) who signed you get canned, leaving no one at the label to stand up for your band.
Overall I don't see being away from KFOX as being bad for AL, since it seemed like they really had her in a creative straitjacket. But it's never pleasant to get fired, whether you see it coming or not. Hope she at least got a decent severance package or a long contract they had to buy out.
So what do you think? Would the current regime at KFOG consider bringing her back? Since DC is gone one hopes Bill Newguy doesn't have any big axe to grind over her departure -- it was just business. But if Gory's numbers aren't so good and AL is a known quantity (with a built-in audience), I could see them thinking about having her return to take over the morning drive -- and one hopes, a certain mid-morning franchise in which the current producer is not, ummm, flourishing.
