Detroit Radio: Talk Host Wayne Bradley OUT At Talk WFDF

Detroit radio personality Wayne Bradley is off the air at Talk WFDF 910 AM . Bradley, who is African American, is alleging it’s because he’s a supporter of Donald Trump.

“I was put on ‘hiatus’ at 910 am Superstation the weekend Donald J. Trump came to Detroit,” Bradley said in a public Facebook post Thursday. “I have not been allowed back on the air since. We had a great show going, with so much dialogue going with the community. Somebody wanted that dialogue to end. It’s supposed to be a Voice of the Community, not the silencer of voice and opinion.”

The Detroit News reports station owner Kevin Adell said Friday Bradley was fired “for violating corporate policy” and not because of his political stance.

“When I hired Wayne I knew his political views, I knew he was for Trump, it had nothing to do with that,” Adell said. “He violated corporate policy, that’s why he got fired. He was let go for insubordination.”

Bradley on Thursday encouraged his supporters to call the station and listed the phone number of Adell and station manager Dody Johnson. Hours later, he posted again to thank supporters and stated there was “no need to keep calling.”

“Though I am disappointed the show will end on that station, we will back. At least now there is clarification,” Bradley wrote. “Thank You to 910 AM Superstation for the opportunity. I will keep you updated on the next Wayne Bradley Show.”

Adell, who would not elaborate on what corporate policy Bradley violated, said the reason he put Bradley on the air in the first place is because of his views.
