La Negra Vernaci Fired From Radio Pop After On-Air Farewell Attacking Management

She plans to seek a payout, saying the station ended her show despite a contract through December.

Overview

  • Vernaci, whose morning show signed off Wednesday, accused Radio Pop’s directors of hiding for two weeks during her emotional final minutes on air.
  • In a later TV interview, she said her boss told her the program was being pulled even though her deal runs through December.
  • She said she will pursue a financial agreement with the company and could move the dispute to another forum if talks break down.
  • Radio Pop has presented the departures as budget cuts and a programming reshuffle that also removed fellow morning host Lizy Tagliani.
  • José María Listorti is reported to be joining the station after appearing as a guest on Vernaci’s final broadcast.
