Fired KMOV anchorman Larry Conners claims he has a job
opportunity in St. Louis ,
but also says his old employers are blocking the hire, according tostltoday.com.
In a Facebook post, Conners says, "I have been offered
a job to return to broadcasting in St.
Louis .
"I can’t give details at this time," Conners said
of the job offer, then adds that KMOV officials still maintain that Conners is
bound by the contractual clause which bans him from competing with KMOV for one
year.
Conners, 66, was fired May 21 after spending 37 years in St.
Louis television — the last 27 as an anchor at KMOV. The dismissal came after a
series of events that began when Conners implied in a May 13 Facebook post that
he may have been targeted by the IRS after interviewing Obama in 2012.
The IRS claims Conners and his wife, Janet L. Conners, owe
more than $85,000 from 2008, 2009 and 2010. Conners has said he was on a
payment plan with the IRS, but that the plan was cancelled after the Obama
interview and a tax lien was placed on the couple's home.
