Assume his contract was not renewed. Too bad. The younger, cheaper replacement has accordingly dumbed down the KFOG Morning Show. I suppose it's an inevitable part of of shifting of the KFOG demographics. How much longer can the other veterans continue to hang on at KFOG?
They REALLY went out of their way to have him say it was his own choice, "other opportunties" are beckoning, etc etc. But even before he left the emphasis on news had shifted; they had him doing "conversational" newscasts, one or 2 stories delivered in a "oh by the way didja hear about...?" manner rather than the structured 'casts he'd been doing for the last 18 years. Renee Richardson has been doing a similar shtick on the afternoon show for the past month or so; it's clearly the PD's choice.
This week begins a parade of week-long auditions by various newsfolk. KRON's Marty Gonzalez used to be the go-to substitute when Peter was off, but I guess he's too old-school (and expensive) to be considered now.
