FARGO - Longtime talk-radio host Scott Hennen is off local airwaves, again, and his exit Monday came faster than he expected.
On his syndicated show on 1100 AM The Flag Monday afternoon, Hennen told listeners his final show on the radio station would be on Friday and said following that, he would enlist the help of former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer to decide how to deliver online programming.
In the midst of making the on-air announcement, The Flag took him off air, preempting his show with past Hennen programs.
Breck Von Bank, the general sales manager for The Flag, said the station pulled Hennen's show mid-broadcast because "all the terms of his departure had not been agreed upon."
Von Bank said Hennen's removal from 1100 AM is permanent. A replacement in the 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. time slot hadn't yet been determined. In the interim, pre-recorded Hennen shows will air in the slot, she said.
