The Brunswick resident has worked for WAKR for nearly six years, and has lived in Northeast Ohio since 1961.

He is not eager to relocate. "We're rooted," he said of himself and his wife, who is an architect in Geveland. WAKR is the third-highest-rated station in Akron, according to the most recent Arbitron ratings book. In the important morning drive-time race where Griffin had a prominent role the station ranked first with a 15.2 share of the listeners in Summit and Portage counties. paid extra.

Griffin sent a copy of the memo to WAKR vice president Fred Anthony, he said. Anthony sent Griffin a memo saying he would take the matter "under advisement" until Monday, Griffin said. At noon Monday, Anthony called Griffin into his office and dismissed him. Anthony confirmed the firing but would say only, "It was a personnel matter and I have no comment." "I don't mind doing it (public-service work) for my employer, but being required to do it for someone other than an employer is a violation of my rights," Griffin said a few hours after he was dismissed. News director States, who declined to comment on the firing, By Bob Dyer Beacon Journal staff writer Plenty of companies would fire an employee for moonlighting for a competitor.

Longtime WAKR (1590-AM) reporter Dean Griffin said he was dismissed Monday for refusing to make a videotaped version of a WAKR public-affairs show that would also be used on Akron television station WAKC-Ch. 23. Until last year, the radio and TV stations both were owned by the Roger Berk family of Akron. But in November 1986, the Berks sold WAKR, sister station WONE (97.5-FM) and six other radio stations to DKM Broadcasting of Atlanta, while retaining the TV station.

A co-op agreement was reached between the two companies in which WAKR employees would continue to contribute public-service programs for television, and vice versa. Griffin made his philosophical stand over a half-hour talk show called Spectrum. Interviews normally are videotaped at the television station, and an audio tape is supplied to the radio station. When It was Griffin's turn to host the show two weeks ago, he recorded only a radio version. He said he sent a memo to WAKR news director Larry States saying he didn't think it was fair to ask him to volunteer his time to another company without being i2J NUB Kktf, iJigi ttW wm Etna iw AH fll HMrrnt iurwrrt mad ThMr EXCLUSIVE ABSA SHOWING!
