Attorneys for syndicated sports-talker host Paul Finebaum have won their battle to have the case heard in state court. Finebaum filed a lawsuit against Citadel when they still owned the station he's working on in Birmingham. The order was signed by United States District Judge Scott Cooglar.
The Birmingham Business Journal is reporting that Finebaum?s attorneys plan to target WJOX-FM General Manager Bill Thomas and drop other defendants. Thomas has told Radio Ink that he considers Finebaum a friend and expects he'll continue to honor his contract.
