Author Sandra Tsing Loh (A Year in Van Nuys) has been fired from her gig at Los Angeles NPR affiliate KCRW.

The decision puts the public radio station better known for news and adventurous music programs incongruously in company with commercial radio powerhouse Clear Channel, which dropped shock jock Howard Stern from six stations last week.
