A Nashville television activities broadcaster says he was fired for giving an remarkable Prince-themed sports document — which some viewers curiously found "insensitive."
WZTV reporter Dan Phillips delivered his masterful dispatch April 21, the day of Prince's dying. right through a four minute activities roundup for the Fox station, Phillips managed to name-drop every song on "red Rain" and very nearly each different major Prince single (plus some deep cuts) — while by no means getting any raunchier than a reference to "Erotic city."
Some highlights consist of:
"here is what it feels like when doves cry and when Mike Fisher ratings!"
"And clock hits zero — birthday party over, oops, out of time."
"The ducks are still two games from death for you."
however some viewers apparently didn't go crazy for his parade of pink One tributes. Phillips became fired Friday.
"first of all, I wish to thank each person for the kind phrases, feedback and fine remarks on this tribute I did to Prince last week," Phillips wrote on facebook.
"lamentably, there were interestingly some viewers, as well as management at the station, who did not feel the same method. They felt i used to be insensitive. And consequently, i used to be terminated nowadays."
He mentioned he can be moving on to "some exciting issues i have been working on for a while now." based on his LinkedIn web page, Phillips worked on the station for more than 10 years.
Reached by way of telephone, Phillips declined to comment to the daily news, and the WZTV news director did not immediately return messages.
