Granato has filed suit against parent company of 610

Houston radio talk show host John Granato has filed suit against the parent company of KILT (610 AM), claiming that the station has violated his contract.

Granato, who co-hosts KILTs morning drive time show, has asked a Harris County state district court to declare the contract invalid and to prevent CBS Radio from enforcing a non-compete clause that would prevent him from working on air for another station for six months after leaving KILT.

Granatos contract runs through Nov. 30. The suit was filed late last week with the Harris County district clerks office and assigned to Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod of the 190th state District Court.

Granato is the second Houston sports radio personality in recent years to ask a Houston judge to vacate a non-compete agreement. In December 2004, state District Judge Randy Walker ruled that KILT could not enforce its non-compete clause with talk show host Charlie Pallilo, which freed Pallilo to begin work immediately for KBME (790 AM).
