Rick Eytcheson, general manager of KFBK, said he told Craft on Monday that he had decided "not to renew her program."

He wouldn't go into the reasons. "I can't get into all that; it wouldn't serve any purpose."

Craft, 48, who had been on a two-week leave, declined to comment.

During her leave, she appeared as a guest on "Good Morning, America" where she criticized what she perceived as too many white, conservative male radio talk-show hosts across the country.

Craft made broadcast history when she sued a Kansas City TV station and its owner, Metromedia, alleging she was demoted from anchor to reporter because she was "too old, too ugly and not deferential enough to men."

In 1986, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear her case, ending years of litigation. Two federal court juries had found in her favor, but both times an appellate court reversed the verdicts.

The marriage is off, and Axl Rose wants his money back.

The lead singer of Guns N' Roses and model Stephanie Seymour began dating in early 1991, got engaged on Feb. 4 and split up later that month. Now, Rose is seeking to recover $100,000 in gifts he says he lavished on her in anticipation of marriage.

Among items he listed in a lawsuit are wedding and engagement rings, a gold and diamond turquoise necklace and a diamond and sapphire antique watch. He also is seeking punitive damages.

Seymour was asked in an Aug. 13 letter to return the gifts but she refused, according to the complaint filed in Superior Court.
