Dan Dakich Suspended from WFNI Over ''Journalistic Principles''
RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, October 23, 2019 |
Former IU player and coach-turned radio host Dan Dakich has been suspended from his afternoon sports/talk show on Emmis-owned Sports WFNI-AM (The Fan)/Indianapolis, reports Dana Benbow at the IndyStar. He'll be off the air for five days for "not adhering to journalistic principles" says Emmis, which declined to offer further comments.
In a statement, the company wrote, "Dan Dakich will not be appearing on his show this week. Dan and Emmis have mutually agreed to a suspension period of five days due to a failure last year on Dan's part to adhere to the journalistic principles valued by Emmis."
Following the move, Dakich retweeted a Twitter post from former Indiana Pacers player Scot Pollard, who's filling in for Dakich during three days of his absence. "Hoosiers clear your schedule from 12-3 today, tomorrow and Wednesday. Tune in to 93.5/107.5 The Fan. It's @dandakich show but hear @cliffWISH8 and myself instead. Buckle up, grab a beverage and some popcorn," Pollard wrote on Twitter.
