Fired Tennis Channel CEO Ken Solomon suing on wrongful termination, other grounds

Former Tennis Channel CEO and chair Ken Solomon is suing owner Sinclair Inc., and others, on multiple grounds, including wrongful termination.
Front Office Sports reported details of the suit on Tuesday.
Solomon contends in the lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, that he could be owed an amount totaling at least eight figures when separation payments and money from an expected sale of the network are figured in. Per the lawsuit, Solomon contends he was fired once "Sinclair apparently decided [he] would be too expensive to retain."
Solomon contends ratings, earnings and subscriber numbers took off under his leadership. He had been with the network since 2005 and was fired last September, reportedly because of the amount of time Solomon spent on outside business.
According to Front Office Sports, Solomon also is suing on the grounds of breach of contract, breach of implied convent of good faith and fair dealing, alleged failure to pay wages upon employee discharge and defamation, as well as over an issue related to vested vacation time.
Solomon is seeking unspecified compensatory, general and punitive damages, statutory penalties and attorney's fees.
Sinclair officials did not respond to Sinclair's request for comment.
