Blaine Bishop Exits WGFX-FM, Nashville
Former Tennessee Titans safety and longtime WGFX-FM, Nashville “104.5 The Zone” air personality Blaine Bishop is no longer with the Cumulus Media station. Paul Kuharsky ( a former WGFX talk host 
himself) reports that Bishop was let go from the midday “Cover Two” program where he co-hosted with Zach Lyons. Kuharsky says Bishop’s exit “stemmed from a non-physical altercation.” Lyons read the following statement yesterday (10/22): “Before we get started, I want to acknowledge that Blaine Bishop is no longer with ‘104.5 The Zone.’ We thank Blaine for all of his contributions over the years to the station, our listeners and to Nashville’s sports community. We wish him the best moving forward.” See Paul Kuharsky’s coverage here.
