Robin Bailey: “I have been blindsided by ARN’s decision not to renew my contract.”

As news was released this afternoon from ARN that they were parting ways with Robin Bailey after ten years on Breakfast at 973, Radiotoday has received a statement from Robin Bailey. See it below.

ARN’s National Content Director Duncan Campbell has formally responded:

“ARN tried very hard to keep Robin at 97.3. While we won’t comment on specific elements of contract negotiations for privacy reasons, what we can say is this negotiation was ongoing for a long period of time with Robin’s management. We are very disappointed we weren’t able to agree to terms, but unfortunately, based on the information ARN was consistently given throughout the negotiation process, we were led into a position where we were unable to proceed with contract renewal.”
