A month after midday host Darian O’Toole was fired by talk station “Free FM” 106.9 (KIFR), afternoon drive host John London (pictured) has been shown the door after he offered a reward on the air to have fellow talk show host Penn Jillette killed. Bay Area Radio Digest says that London opened his show on Thursday (April 6) by offering a $5,000 reward to anyone who would kill Jillette (the talking half of the Penn & Teller magician team), with an extra $2,000 if the death was painful. According to the Radio Digest, London’s Friday show was a “best of” tape. Brad Kava of the Mercury News posted a story tonight saying he talked to London, who confirmed he had been fired. London told Kava his comments were “obviously sarcastic” and that he was responding to Jillette’s earlier attack on Mother Teresa. The CBS-owned station isn’t commenting, but any reference to London was removed from the station’s web site over the weekend. London was replaced today (April 10) by Johnny Wendell, who does a 10 a.m.-noon weekend shift on Progressive Talk KTLK-AM Los Angeles. From 1985-1991, London did the morning show on KMEL where he developed a strong local following. He worked at stations in LA for most of the 1990s. He returned to the Bay Area and was at KNBR from 2001 to 2004. [Kava’s blog: Two strikes on Free FM] [ba.broadcast: London out at Free FM]
