| Max Floyd and Tanna Guthrie, recently canned and long time morning co-host at KYYS have filed an age discrimination law suit against Entercom. Although there is age discrimination in broadcasting, this may be tough to win since other younger air talent were fired at the same time.

From Radio News Today
Four former employees of classic-rock station KYYS-FM have filed an age-discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over their firings in January. Former morning-show hosts Max Floyd, 67; Tanna Guthrie, 51; afternoon host Brian "Slacker" Adams; and mid-day host Traci Martens, aka Traci Wilde, allege that Entercom Communications of Philadelphia pink-slipped them because of their age (read more - KC Star) (read more - Fox 4 News KC)

| Turns out that all the jocks involved are over 40, so that could have more of an impact with EEOC than I originally thought (since 40 is the age of discrimination) also it is not yet before the court but rather with the federal agency.

| This will be an interesting case, you can bet stations across the country will be paying attention to this.
