    John Granato has settled his lawsuit against CBS Radio, the parent company of KILT (610 AM), and will leave the station, effective Monday.

    Attorneys reached an out-of-court settlement Sunday night in Granato's suit, which accused KILT of breeching his contract and asked a Harris County district court to void the non-compete clause that would prohibit him from working on air for another Houston station for the next six months.

    "John Granato and CBS Radio have agreed that John will no longer work for KILT-AM," the parties said in a statement. "John is voluntarily dismissing his lawsuit against CBS Radio and is no longer contesting the enforceability of his non-compete agreement."

    Granato's attorney, Terry W. Yates, said he would file papers in Harris County district court on Monday dismissing the suit with prejudice.

    While Granato's final day of employment with KILT will be Monday, Yates said Granato will not appear on the air during the station's morning show with on-air partner Lance Zierlein. His last day on the air at KILT was Friday.

    Good for AM610. I hope they tighten up the Morning Show by giving Lance a good co-host so I can just tune in and keep the dial there.
