After assault charge, ex-Panther Frank Garcia loses WFNZ job, talks about what’s next

Sports-talk radio host Frank Garcia isn’t returning to Charlotte’s WFNZ-AM. He was fired after his arrest for misdemeanor assault on a 29-year-old woman last month, two sources close to the situation confirmed.

Garcia, 46, was formerly host of the afternoon talk show, “Garcia and Bailey,” which he co-hosted with Kyle Bailey.

“We’ve been in contact and they let me know what was taking place,” Garcia said of his firing in an interview with the Observer Friday night. “Right now, it’s an opportunity to spend time and grow with my family and just find some balance in my life.
