BOSTON - A conservative radio host who was fired by a Washington station after he called Islam "a terrorist organization" is hosting a new radio show in Boston.

Michael Graham, 42, was fired in August by WMAL-AM because he refused to apologize for saying, "We are at war with a terrorist organization named Islam," on-air following the London subway bombings.

The former standup comedian and GOP political consultant officially took over Monday as WTKK-FM's afternoon drive host. after a two-week tryout, replacing Jay Severin.

In October, Mr. Graham spent two days auditioning for Clear Channel's WSPD-AM afternoon talk spot in Toledo vacated by Denny Schaffer.
