Former Birmingham Cumulus Mgr. Sues For Discrimination


It seems Birmingham, Alabama, is never short on radio drama. From the city that brought you the radio-fueled first burning of Beatles records comes a new discrimination lawsuit -- this one from former Market Manager Bill Thomas who is suing Cumulus over his termination which happened shortly after the company purchased Citadel.

Thomas claims Cumulus violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when they fired him just six days after he disclosed having congestive heart failure. He also claims he had never once been criticized or counseled regarding the quality of his work. He's looking for back pay and other damages.
