Dan Dakich, the often controversial midday sports radio host on WFNI 107.5 The Fan is no longer with the station, reports The Indy Star.

An email sent to employees Thursday by operations manager David Wood read: "Today was Dan Dakich's last day with Radio One. We wish him well in their future endeavors."

Dakich, a former Indiana University basketball player, assistant coach and one season interim head coach, has hosted The Dan Dakich show for 14 years. He also has a show called "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" on Outkick, which describes itself as a "fearless sports media company founded by Clay Travis." 

Dakich tweeted a statement Thursday afternoon.

In June, in one of the biggest local radio shakeups in recent history, Emmis, which founded The Fan, sold its Indianapolis stations to Urban One.

Urban One CEO Alfred Liggins told IndyStar in June he didn't want to comment on specific radio hosts. "I know the stations here in Indy have a few controversial personalities," Liggins said. "I don't have real depth of knowledge about those personalities."
