Oklahoma City Sports Radio Host Terminated After Racist Comments from 2016 Off-Air Conversation Get Leaked


Longtime sports radio host Sam Mayes is out at Tyler Media’s 107.7 The Franchise in Oklahoma City after an off-air conversation from 2016 containing racist comments was recently leaked.

During a commercial break, Mayes discussed Native Americans and the push for Washington DC’s NFL franchise to rebrand from their derogatory moniker. The 2016 recording features Mayes and Tyler Media promotions director Cara Rice, who also hosts mornings on a sister station.
