COOL FM has said DJ Andy Baird "will not be presenting" his Sunday morning show while it examines social media posts.
It follows comments posted on his Twitter account about Donald Trump and the recent violence in Washington DC, along with posts describing the coronavirus crisis a 'scamdemic'.
His social media presence on both Twitter and Facebook appeared last night to have been deleted.
The presenter, described as the "superhero of the station" on Cool FM's website, hosts a breakfast show every Sunday.
However, the Sunday Life reported that he was suspended from his role yesterday after dozens of controversial tweets emerged, including one mocking the 'Clap for Carers' initiative.
The account also repeated widely debunked claims of fraud in the recent US election won by Joe Biden.
Cool FM is owned and run by Bauer Media UK, who released a statement saying: "Andy Baird is a freelance presenter with a Sunday Show on Cool FM.
"His views and opinions on social media are his own and not representative of Bauer Media. At the present time, Andy will not be presenting his show while we look into this."
