Radio Host Fired for
Kennedy Comment

Pittsburgh-area sports radio host Mark Madden has been fired by ESPN. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has quoted Madden as saying he had hoped Sen. Edward Kennedy "would live long enough to be assassinated." The Massachusetts Democrat has a brain tumor. Madden made the remark during his show Wednesday. The show has aired weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. on 1250 ESPN. Madden was last heard on the air Thursday, the day before his comments appeared in the Post-Gazette. An ESPN spokesman says Madden was taken off the air according to the network's contractual rights.
