Boston pulbic radio fires Tom Ashbrook

The Hill -Boston public radio host Tom Ashbrook has been dismissed amid allegations that he created an abusive workplace, WBUR said. Ashbrook, the host of the call-in radio show "On Point," was suspended from the station in December as he faced allegations of sexual misconduct. An independent investigation cleared him of those allegations, but determined that Ashbrook created an "abusive work environment," WBUR and Boston University, which runs the station, said.
