Attorney Nancy Grim, representing Maggie Fuller, and radio station manager Bill Klaus both confirmed the matter has been resolved but declined to comment further.
Fuller — the on-air pseudonym of Nancy Jones, who had been part of the radio station’s morning crew — filed the civil suit in September, one year after leaving the station, when WNIR’s owners declined to discipline another radio host who was reported to have referred to her at a public event by using a crude anatomical reference.
The case, filed in Summit County Common Pleas Court, accused Bill and Bob Klaus of abetting unlawful discriminatory practices, causing Fuller to lose $38,000 a year in income plus benefits, as well as suffer mental anguish, humiliation and loss of reputation.
At the time, she asked to be reinstated at the station and compensated for lost wages, or if not reinstated, given lost income as well as “future wages and benefits.” The suit also sought $50,000 in compensatory and punitive damages.
Fuller said that when she was hired in 1999 she understood that banter would require her to “endure a degree of sexual innuendo with her male colleagues” but that the Klaus brothers prohibited “obscene and hateful terms.”

Actually - the Morning Show is A LOT better with Angela and Chris. Stan and Nancy (Maggie) were horrible - they were the ones doing all on-air sexual innuendo for years. They left, the potty talk stopped. WNIR should have given those two the boot years ago. Hopefully Nancy will stay off the air and do something else where we won't have to hear you. Believe it or not, not everyone liked her or Stan.

Totally agree. It was candid and for an adult audience. If you have a thin skin, there are plenty of other platforms that have no content or personality. Stan was the man, and so was his crew. The morning show has not really been that good since, but the rest of the wnir personalities are spectacular. I listen every day.
