Sergio’s messy removal from WQXR occurred in the early months of 1946. In January, her morning commentary was suddenly suspended. Her evening program befell the same fate a couple of months later, in March, though the presenter had been notified that would happen a few weeks prior by the publishing company of The New York Times (which, as mentioned, had bought WQXR in 1944). The only testimony regarding her reactions can be read in the diaries of Sanger, one of the station’s two founders. “Sergio very angry,” he wrote on February 6. And the next day she “refused to discuss matter with me” and “said we would hear from legal sources.” But Sergio must have calmed down if on March 29 she agreed to attend a farewell luncheon with her boss and nine colleagues. “Very pleasant,” Sanger commented, “and we gave her Tiffany pin.”
