It doesn't seem like a free speech issue to me. I
have to believe the owners of the radio station have
every right to fire (as long as it doesn't violate
whatever contract is in force) any on air personality
for any show they feel reflects badly on their station
and/or might affect their bottom line.
If they were just bowing to pressure from offended
folk, then I don't have any admiration for their
integrity, but they still didn't abrogate anyone's
free speech.
