Val Townsend took to Twitter to reveal she was fired from the morning show at Townsquare Media Country 106.5 WYRK Buffalo in late May.
In the Twitter thread, Townsend depicts issues with co-hosts Clay Moden and Rob Banks and the local Human Resources department claiming that her co-hosts were openly discussing how to get her fired and accusing her of being inconsistent with COVID precautions.
