Ch 7, Herald: DePetro suspended

[raccoonradio]

Maybe DePetro will become a "reformed conservative" (right, Ed Schulz?) and get a job on prog. talk... ?

Rumor: WRKO will change to a country format... "The Wolfe"*

*--see, Entercom has that "brand" for its country stations like KKWF in Seattle

...and note the way I spelled it

 

[raccoonradio]

The Grace and Christy show. Starts Wednesday morning on 'RKO (Muffy fills in once in awhile...yeesh...)

DePetro never put on the lipstick and isn't part of the club. Just a peek into another world.

He didn't do so because he's a man.

No one wants a peek into your "world"

and there, in a nutshell, is the school bully mentality on WRKO and right wing talk radio. These people never grew up, never advanced beyond the 10th grade. By the way, re: Carr commenting on people's weight. Isn't he a bit on the corpulent side?

and I agree, for once, with RaccoonBob about Ed Schultz being a "reformed" conservative. I saw through his act a long time ago. And his show is dull...

I hear stuff from the left, too (namecalling etc.). Howie has lost some weight...but Col. Hunt still calls him the Fried Clam Man.

so does it mean that wrko or weei will no longer allow callers to refer to howie or ordway as 'fat bastard'? they're taking all the fun out of radio.

Guess now he is fired:

radiodouble: safe bet is that the Scondras "throat clearing" will not be heard on Howie's show for awhile...
and note that Carr and Ordway are WRKO/WEEI employees, not gubernatorial candidates, FWIW...

i hope this pc-phase passes quickly. may be entercom suits are just in a bad mood this morning after getting stinky results on qtrly earnings. they're killing radio..no more bob gamere jokes on the big show?. wtf?

howie's show is a must listen, today. even without scondras sound effects.
bring vb for 9-noon. he can host it from fox25 beacon street studios that fat bastard!

VB!!

Herald, re: this morning's debate: "As for the firing of WRKO-AM talk show host John DePetro for referring to Ross on his show yesterday as a “fat lesbian,” Patrick declined to discuss it, saying “No. Next question.” Healey called it “inappropriate.” Mihos had the strongest response, saying the insult was “crass” and “politics should be better than that.” Ross said she was offended. "

Agreed! Certain things you don't say on the air. However, where is the back lash when Severin calls Hillary Clinton a Fat Socialist Cow and makes numerous references to what he considers herr large...lets say posterior?

 

[SonicOverload]

VB!!

I still find it ridiculous a middle aged man, on a morning TV "news" show, goes by initials that mean "virgin boy."

would WRKO hire him for that slot? And, cosidering his non-svelte body, would Doug make comments about anyone else's size?

Maybe because she's not local, and not yet running for anything that Mass. voters could have a say in.
