Its not going good for Talk sport at the minute
A RADIO station today sacked a DJ whose name appeared on a leaked BNP membership list.
TalkSport presenter Rod Lucas, a veteran broadcaster who has also been on Radio 1, was among 10,000 people named when the secret list was published on the internet. The station yesterday ousted another presenter, Jon Gaunt, for branding a councillor a "Nazi".
Hundreds of Londoners were exposed as members of the far-Right party, including teachers, soldiers, advertising men and even a songwriter.
Others were police officers and prison staff, whose contracts forbid them from joining the BNP, and servicemen including a member of the Intelligence Corps.
Sony Award winner Lucas was brought in to cover overnight shows earlier this year and was hailed by station bosses for his "unique style of radio".
On his website he boasts of pioneering the "zoo-style" of radio with Steve Wright while a BBC producer in the Eighties. His firm - Lucas Media Group - claims it represents more than 250 DJs and artists, running £350-a-day training courses at his home in Staplehurst, Kent.
The BNP membership list, which is one year old, said Lucas would not be renewing his membership.
A TalkSport spokesman said: "We won't be using him again. We had no knowledge of his association with the BNP."
