Keck said the station will rotate hosts during Baylor's absence. The Nebraska Builders and Lancaster Event Center had called for Baylor to be fired, according to the article.
Baylor has apologized for his remarks.

Can you say another gutless owner? If you are going to have a talk show and make it opinionated you are going to ruffle some feathers.
This is a typical owner bowing to down to money because the "builders" spent money on the station and they weren't happy with one hosts opinion.
John you are getting screwed and tell your owner they are gutless.
Gotta love the way the owner backed their talent. Geez.
He must have hit on something that may be true. Way to support your employee Mr. "Girlyman" Keck.

Isn't Baylor too young anyway for KFOR's octagenerian audience?
Besides, it sounds odd to say, "the John Baylor show brought to you by Depends Undergarments."
Here is what seemed to be small faux pas blown way out of proportion. Too bad John has to cowtow to some overlording, chicken shits, just like the rest of us.
