There's no mention in either of these 2 articles why CLTV fired McClendon. All I know is

between this and his parents being shot dead less than 1 year ago http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/20/parents-of-tv-host-garrar_n_327954.html things are rough for Garrard now. I'm just sitting here shaking my head since I liked his show too.

Without warning, Tribune-owned cable news channel CLTV dropped “Garrard McClendon Live,” the nightly topical talk show it had been airing since May 2008. CLTV will go back to news in its former 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. time slots. McClendon, who’d been working without a contract since early this year, teased last April 1 that his show had been dropped. The April Fools’ Day joke actually came true Friday when McClendon told fans on Facebook and Twitter that it “has been canceled (for real) and is off the air,” adding: “I thank you all for your support over the last two years.”
