During the 1970s, Dee regularly posted blockbuster first at WERE (1300-AM) but mainly at WHK (1420-AM). He was subsequently sacked in Washington, Chicago and New York. midday host Howie Chizek was contacted by the station. Chizek was not interested in the job. Piatt acknowledged that he met with Tayek, but says nothing is imminent.

Cleveland talk show host Gary Dee was fired Thursday by WWWE (1100-AM). Dee, who had been on paid leave since Aug.

16 after a complaint was filed with the Federal Communications Commission alleging he used indecent language on the air, said he would probably retire from the business. "I just didn't follow directions," said Dee, 54, whose real name is Gary Gilbert. "I'm my own worst enemy. Gary Dee drives Gary Gilbert crazy." It was the fourth time Dee has been fired in the last five years. In a news release, the station denied that Dee was dismissed because of the complaint, attributing his departure to "a decision by management to pursue ar dif-.

ferent direction in its afternoon drive-time slot." Dee said that, although the station was not obligated to buy out his contract because it had legitimate reason to fire him, he was given a "more than fair" settlement to walk away quietly. "They're a class act," he said of WWWE's management. The controversial Dee has been in radio since 1956. "Maybe it's time to try something else," he said Thursday evening from his home in Eastlake. A boating enthusiast, Dee said he will stay in Cleveland and possibly start a charter boat service.

"Gary Dee did some good over those 30 years," said Dee. "He made people laugh and question things." Meanwhile, two of the four regular talk-show hosts at Kent's WNIR (100.1-FM) have been approached by WWWE about possible employment. WNIR's morning man, Stan Piatt, met with WWWE program director Bob Tayek on Thursday afternoon.
