iHeartMedia has cut ties with Darren ‘Maverick’ Minor over a sexist tweet made to a University of Arkansas basketball player.
Inside Fort Smith reports that Minor, who served as Program Director of Classic Rock “Big Dog 95.9” KKBD, Hot AC “B98” KZBB, Country 99.1 KMAG, and Conservative Talk 1320 KWHN Fort Smith AR and hosted afternoons at KMAG since 2012, replied to a group of photos posted by freshman Erynn Barnum with the comment “Now they just need to install a pole”. The comment was met with swift condemnation by University of Arkansas Women’s Basketball Coach Mike Neighbors.
iHeartMedia Area President Clyde Bass told KFSM-TV that as soon as iHeart became aware of the comment, they knew it was unacceptable and addressed the matter internally. Minor wrote on Facebook, “Two sides to every story. Those who know me well, will wait for that side. Right now I need to breathe.”.
Was that his personal Twitter or the stations?
