Problems for Citadel Broadcasting, my former employer at KSFO in San Francisco, seem to be compounding with the breaking news today from industry reporter Brian Maloney at RadioEqualizer. 

SEAN HANNITY 'FED UP' ...MAY LEAVE THE FORMER ABC NETWORK STATIONS.

From RadioEqualizer

Beyond Citadel's sagging stock price, Hannity is said to be concerned with the leftist political bent of its corporate suits, which has created some awkward moments. In particular, COO Ellis has been reluctant to even be seen near the FOX News Channel host.

And since they took the reins of the merged company, Suleman and Ellis have made a number of peculiar decisions, including an emphasis on the 65+ audience rather than younger, more advertiser- friendly demographics. That has included a mega- deal with talk fossil Don Imus.

Also highly questionable were baffling decisions to remove Rush Limbaugh from WPRO-AM in Providence and fire nationally- known conservative morning talker Melanie Morgan from KSFO/ San Francisco.
