After 25 years with ABC, and 15 years as morning host for the giant San Francisco radio station KSFO, libertarian-conservative talk show host Lee Rodgers has been given the axe.

Lee Rodgers wrote at the Melanie Morgan blog (photo - left) on Saturday:

Understand, please, that this course was not chosen by the local management of KSFO...

I WILL tell you, in all candor, that thanks to Mr. Suleiman's Citadel management, I could no longer proudly say that the company had never told me what to say or what not to say. There was an obvious cave-in to some ultra-left and pro-Muslim groups...

Farid Suleiman (photo) is the CEO of Citadel Broadcasting.

Morgan was Co-host with Rodgers until 2008 when she was "layed off." Allegations at the time centered on Morgan's stridently Pro-War on Islamic Terrorism views, and her activism on behalf of Move America Forward, a group that fought to elect Pro-Patriot candidates to Congress. Her Co-host Rodgers kept the show going for the last two years with the same themed programming, and with consultation with Morgan. Both continued to cover the Pro-America movement on the Melanie Morgan blog.

The show remained very popular in the Bay Area.

Note - Note, Suleiman, whose national origin and citizenship status is unpublished, uses a different anglicized spelling of his name, "Suleman" in newer reports. Hat tip to an alert LR reader on the Left Coast.
