Southeast Alabama Broadcasting Co. v. Farrell

Appeal by Southeast Alabama Broadcasting Company, Inc., d/b/a WDHN-TV, from an adverse judgment in a breach of contract action. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.

The action was commenced by Maury J. Farrell when he filed a complaint against Southeast alleging that Southeast had breached its contract under which Farrell was employed as general manager of Southeast's television station in Dothan. Following trial a jury verdict awarded Farrell $100,000 as damages, and judgment was entered thereon. Southeast's motion for a new trial was overruled, and this appeal ensued.
