Radio host James Whale has been fired by Talksport after urging listeners to vote for Conservative candidate Boris Johnson in London's mayoral elections.
The comments were made on 20 March during his late-night programme. A Talksport spokesman said: "James Whale's contract with the station has been terminated after a breach of the Ofcom Broadcasting Code."
Under Ofcom rules, presenters are banned from showing any bias towards a political party before an election. The Talksport spokesman described the matter as "very unfortunate".
