Brent Axe, a popular host on ESPN Syracuse, has been fired by the radio station for being too critical of the school’s men’s basketball program.
Ed Levine, the president and CEO of Galaxy Media Partners, which owns the ESPN Radio affiliate in the region,“I had a problem with the content of the show,” Levine said. “I’m an SU fan. I’m sorry, but I bleed Orange. I’m not going to apologize for that, and I think a fair reading of the Orange is appropriate.
“I understand a business relationship , that Coach Boeheim and I are personal friends and he’s an investor in my company. “I understand and acknowledge all of that. We’ve called it pretty fair, and I would argue we’ve been tough on SU when the on-field or off-field events warrant it. I just think over the past six months it took a different tone and became overly dark and negative. I don’t think that’s what Syracuse fans want to hear.”Galaxy is the university’s radio broadcast partner for several sports, including football.
