From AllAccess:

"Without details or preamble, a memo from CLEAR CHANNEL Sr. VP/Programming TOM POLEMAN was released today concerning the exit of WWPR/NEW YORK PD MICHAEL SAUNDERS:

"Please be advised MICHAEL SAUNDERS [sic] is no longer with CLEAR CHANNEL. We wish him all the very best in his future endeavors. For the time being, (VP/Urban Programming) DOC WYNTER is Interim Program Director. Please direct any programming questions or issues that you would normally send to MICHAEL to DOC WYNTER. DOC is arriving tonight and will be in the station tomorrow. Any press inquiries should be directed to (SVP/External Communications For Radio & Public Relations) LISA DOLLINGER."

The dismissal of SAUNDERS ... comes on the heels of a CLEAR CHANNEL press release yesterday (10/11) regarding the ouster of two employees for "inappropriate conduct" following the conclusion of an internal "pay for play" investigation connected with the NEW YORK STATE Attorney General ELIOT SPITZER and SONY BMG settlement."

The other employee released was KHTS/San Diego PD Diana Laird.

Tough break but for once Clear Channel showed some backbone and stuck by their perverbial guns with reference to the Payola issue.
