Veteran talkback radio host Tony McManus won’t be returning to the airwaves at 6PR after the holiday season. McManus said he was told he was being "benched" several weeks ago as 6PR explores new directions. "6PR obviously has huge plans for next year and there are going to be some very exciting things take place, but it appeared that I wasn’t going to be a part of that, but having said that everything happens for a reason and I’m now into the pre-season draft for 2013," McManus said.
