Atlanta Radio: Chris Dimino Headed To The Fan

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.

But David Dickey, General Manager and President of 680 The Fan replied to an email from 11Alive News saying, "It looks like Chris may be joining our company at some point in the future; that's about all I can say at this moment."
