Duncan May Take Legal Action Against
Radio Host For Broadcasting Phone Call |
MLB Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan is "contemplating legal recourse" against KFNS-AM after host Kevin Slaten last Thursday put Duncan on the air "without his consent," according to Dan Caesar of the ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH. The pair had a "contentious conversation that Duncan said he thought was private, but was being broadcast." In the conversation, Duncan called Slaten a "nasty man," and Slaten "accused Duncan of slander." Duncan: "It certainly was unethical what he did, and probably unlawful. But that's the way [Slaten] is, and that's why I wasn't interested in going on his show." Duncan said that he was "contacted first by a producer and declined to go on the air, but that Slaten called anyway." Caesar noted in an "unconventional move, listeners heard the call being placed and Duncan answering rather than the normal procedure of the person being interviewed already being on the line when the host begins the conversation." Though KFNS "refused to provide a tape of the interview," the Post-Dispatch obtained a copy. Slaten could not be reached for comment, but "on the air insisted that Duncan should have known he was on" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 3/29).
