WTAE dumps Madden

Channel 4 circulated a memo in-house saying the station had ended its freelance agreement with Mark Madden. He had been a regular panelist on their Sunday night (11:30) sports discussion show.

Apparently he said something insulting about one of the Steelers players and the player took offense. The Steelers let Channel 4 know it wouldn't be able to count on their cooperation in the future. Channel 4 then settled the situation by dumping Madden.

This is the second time Channel 4 has bounced Madden. He had a commentary spot on their news a couple of years ago. The P-G forced him out of his weekly column over taste issues and City Paper dumped him when he turned in a column ripping Myron Cope.

It's all about the love.....

You know it's bad when the City Paper dumps you!
