Sports Talk 790 AM will be Innes’ new home after his August firing by WIP in Philadelphia. Innes was let go by CBS after he harshly criticized competitor Mike Missanelli on the air and on Twitter. Missanelli works for Greater Media’s 97.5 The Fanatic and was caught up in a fake caller controversy. Innes will host afternoons for iHeart in Houston, the same slot he held in Philadelphia with CBS.
Innes returns to Houston where he hosted afternoon drive for CBS Radio before leaving for Philadelphia for a similar role at Sports Radio 94 WIP. Innes got his start in his hometown of Baton Rouge at WJBO. Innes said, “I am coming home. Sports radio in Houston is about to change.”
