According to media writer Eric Deggans at tampabay.com, the
company agreed to the settlement Friday, before jury selection would begin this
week on the lawsuit, in which Schnitt has accused Clem of “false, highly
offensive and defamatory statements” about him and his wife Michelle as
competition heated up between the two on morning radio. Cox and Schnitt also
agreed to keep the terms confidential, declining to say if money changed hands
or legal fees were paid.
But Keith Lawless, Tampa
market manager for Cox Radio, said the settlement doesn't indicate a lack of
support for Clem's position, noting that Cox's attorney is now helping Clem's
lawyers through the trial.
