No doubt about it, Judge Mary Ann Gunn continues to help those addicted to drugs, rides a mean Harley and issues some mighty fine rulings from the bench. If you hand't followed this, longtime sports geek Bo Mattingly (40/29 and KNWA) up and bailed on his job in the land of tee-vee. That so shocked and overwhelmed the mighty tee-vee people that they sued him when he turned up across the street on KFAY-AM.
Nexstar Broadcasting (cue the music to "The Empire Strikes Back" here) got it's panties in such a tangle, it filed suit, jilted and unwed.
Here's what happened (yep, courtesy of the man where it all happens, reporter Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones)...
Gunn sided with Mattingly, who argued that the radio and television markets are different and are not competitive. Gunn said Razorback Nation, the television's sports news segment, and Mattingly's radio show were different because one is news, the other entertainment.
Now, Bo only knows radio.
Yeah, that includes the highly disgusting "Faith on the Field" - but at least he beat a big company in court, or at least got ordered to go back into arbitration with them....and now they know they don't own the radio along with the tee-vee.VIA
