This one is really a holdover from the Citadel days. Popular Birmingham sports talker Paul Finebaum sued Cumulus over a contract dispute when the sale of Citadel and Cumulus was going through. He also named his friend at the time General Manager Bill Thomas in the lawsuit (Thomas has since been replaced at the station). A judge had given Finebaum and Cumulus until May 30th to work out their disagreement and we've been told that's exactly what they done, clearing the way for Finebaum to eventually work for Cox.
In an e-mail last night, Finebaum referred us to his attorney Russ Campbell who said "The parties are still working on the details. No settlement has been inked." and we've been told both sides have agreed to drop their lawsuits and Finebaum has agreed to work for Cumulus until mid January 2013. After that he is free to jump to Cox. Cox has been going after Finebaum ever since his disagreement with Cumulus began, offering to buy out his contract several times.
