He was a long-time radio veteran when he was hired to be one of the anchors of the new all-news format at 101.1FM in Chicago (the former Q-101.) But just a few months into his new job, Dave Williams was fired with no explanation.
He still doesn't know why he was fired. This quote says it all: "I was told, 'We’re moving in a different direction,' period. I am a total loss to understand why I was released from Merlin Media but what really hurts is that I have to tell my family and my radio friends the truth: I don’t know why I was fired. The people who know and love me will believe that but everybody else has every reason to suspect there is something unsaid. Who doesn’t know why he was fired? I don’t. And I say that with no animosity, just pure and frustrating bafflement."
This isn't a kid that doesn't understand the cutthroat nature of the business or hasn't been around the block. He's been in radio since the 1960s.
