Chris Dimino |
Three months after being fired for a tasteless on air prank,
former Atlanta
sports radio personality Chris Dimino has another radio job, at a competing
station.
Dimino, co-hosts Steak Shapiro and Nick Cellini were all
fired by sports radio station WQXI 790 AM The Zone in June after they aired a
fake, mocking interview with former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason,
who suffers from the degenerative nerve disease ALS. See original posting, Click Here.
All three apologized shortly afterwards, including Dimino,
who wrote on Facebook , "The weight of what he and they are going through
did not need to be made heavier or worse by the pure and straight insensitivity
of my actions."
Now, 11 Alive News is reporting that Dimino has been hired by competing
sports WCNN 680: The Fan.
11Alive crews saw him at an Atlanta Falcons news conference
Monday among the press corps.
Apparently he can't go on the air until next March thanks to
a no compete clause in his previous contract.
