    Derek Myers dismissal and Vitter advertising dispute

    WVLA fired on-air personality Derek Myers after he questioned gubernatorial candidate David Vitter about allegations that Vitter had patronized prostitutes. Vitter’s campaign responded by removing a large amount of advertising from the station. The incident occurred amid the broader political controversy surrounding Vitter’s previously acknowledged connection to the so-called DC Madam scandal.
