TalkSPORT presenter resigns in protest to company being bought by owner of the Sun

A man of principle.

Colin Murray has resigned from his position as morning show presenter on talkSPORT, citing the recent change in ownership of the radio station and the "inevitable future working relationship between talkSPORT and The Sun." The radio station has being bought by News Corp, the media group that owns The Sun. The British tabloid printed erroneous reports about the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. Northern Irishman Murray is a lifelong Liverpool fan, and sees the merger as making his position untenable. Murray released a statement on Wednesday afternoon: https://twitter.com/ColinMurray/status/753215798546759680 The former Match of the Day 2 presenter is the second high-profile departure from the radio station in recent days. Stan Collymore, who has worked for talkSPORT for the past eight years, announced on Tuesday that his contract hasn't been renewed. Some are speculating that the former Liverpool striker's departure was no coincidence. https://twitter.com/SaHreports/status/752915712495259648 Collymore, and others on Twitter, supported Murray's decision to resign. https://twitter.com/StanCollymore/status/753217087007580160 https://twitter.com/SuperBlue623/status/753222347293859840 https://twitter.com/TheCenci/status/753222489917034496 https://twitter.com/JimBoardman/status/753221310411603968 https://twitter.com/TheMediaTweets/status/753221097059999744 https://twitter.com/thisisanfield/status/753220574093213696 https://twitter.com/SachinNakrani/status/753217600147062785
