Jack Diamond, a longtime fixture on Washington’s radio airwaves for more than two decades, has broadcast his last program on Cumulus-owned WRQX-FM Mix 107.3, according to The Washington Post.
Diamond was scrubbed from the station’s Web site after his
broadcast Friday morning. Station Manager Mark O’Brien said in an e-mail that
an announcement about Diamond’s replacement would be made today, according to
The Washington Post.
The “Diamond” show mixed topical humor, interviews and listener
call-in, with Diamond overseeing a rotating cast of sidekicks.

has remained formidable, finishing 11th overall and 12th among listeners 25 to
54 years old, a key segment for advertisers.
