Sports-talk radio station boss resigns after workplace fist fight

A fist fight at a St. Louis radio station has led to the resignation of the sports-talk station's president.

Grand Slam Sports president Don Marshall was hospitalized last week after a fight with KFNS-AM morning host Brian McKenna, who was arrested by police but has not been charged with a crime as city prosecutors continue to review the case.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Marshall resigned on Thursday as the company's president and managing partner. Grand Slam Sports owns two local AM stations.

The fight came after a talk-show host at KXFN-AM, the company's other station, criticized McKenna, who was fired after the workplace confrontation.
