Was Tommy Boyd sacked from TalkSport?

Oh, and where's Charlie Wolf?

[merlin58]

Yes, he was sacked - it was all very sudden but I cannot remember why. I was something he said on air (I think?)

There was a thread on Charle Wolf a little way back.

Answering why he was sacked it says:

A caller said he'd like to "shoot the effing Royal Family". It was pub talk for "I disapprove of the Monarchy", however the Station owner and I didn't get on, and he didn't need two reasons to fire me for that one.

Charlie Wolf was forced to leave talkSPORT by the station's new owners UTV Radio in 2006.


Wolf continues to air his views in a weekly column in London-based community newspaper The Jewish News. Wolf has also temporarily returned to the radio airwaves to host two shows a week on Shalom FM, an RSL (Restricted Service Licence) radio station which was broadcasting for one month until November 25th 2006 in North West London. He is also a stand-in presenter on the Frinton-on-Sea based radio station Big L 1395
