Did Bill Press get the boot from Radio Station WMAL (Washington DC)?

Just curious. My biggest peeve about WMAL's morning-drive show was that it included Bill Press (my other peeve is gun-grabber Charlie Warren's evening show, but that's another issue).

Since I try to enjoy my breakfast and not arrive at the office in a sour political mood, I've been avoiding the program, checking back from time-to-time to see if he'd called in sick or gone on vacation. Then last week I started hearing "guest host" Fred Grandy on the show. Most telling of all, Bill's no longer listed on WMAL's web page.

Did I miss something? Hey, not that I'm complaining!

Bill Press and Charlie Warren are kaput at WMAL. Grandy is now co-host with Andy Parks. Jane Norris now has Charlie Warren's time slot.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Charlie Warren is just on vacation. Jane Norris has been filling in for him. Press did leave "...to pursue other interests...", (which means was fired, since the announcement came in the last 20 minutes of a Friday show).

Charlie Warren used to be enjoyable until he got political a few years back; when he sticks to talking about cars, hiking and camping he's great.

I loved Charlie Warren's Sat am show where he talked about week-end activities. I listened to his eve. political show maybe twice. I don't think I'll ever want to hear him again.
And I won't tune to that slot on WMAL until everyone convinces me that he's really gone for good.
