Fishbowl DC reports that Jonetta Rose Barras, longtime political analyst for WAMU’s Friday program, The Politics Hour With Kojo and Jonetta, is leaving the show. City Desk has more, citing differences between Barras and WAMU Program Director Mark McDonald and calling the move a firing. Barras told the Washington City Paper that she felt there was a large disparity in her salary, especially since the program expanded its coverage in January to include Maryland and Virginia (that’s when the “D.C.” was dropped from the show’s title).

Kojo Nnamdi will continue to host the program under the simplified name of The Politics Hour, and any reference to Barras having been the co-host of the show has been swiftly removed from WAMU’s web site. A statement from WAMU says the station is currently looking for a replacement for Barras.

Barras also currently writes a weekly column for the Examiner.
