Darian O’Toole, Bay Area radio’s rebel redhead, has reportedly been let go by CBS-owned Free FM 106.9 (KIFR), according to the Bay Area Radio Digest. Initially the station said she was off the air last week because she was under the weather, but as of today (March 6), all references to O’Toole had been scrubbed from Free FM’s web site. O’Toole’s blog, http://darianotoole.blogspot.com, has an entry dated Friday saying “I’m still not back yet, but I’m always think’in about you listeners and the folks at FreeFM.” Replacing her is Turi Ryder, formerly of KPIX-FM and KFRC. Free FM signed on in October as the Bay Area’s only FM talk station, and O’Toole, who has worked at a number of other Bay Area stations, was one of the station’s original hosts.
