I still wish Dan had actually done what he was telling JD he would do, if JD didnt put the microphone down..
Sad bit is - the next 30 minutes of calls gave JD more publicity than he really deserves!

Yorke was on location in West Warwick.
He started trash talking DePetro when he found out
JD was involved in Mayor Laffey's campaign announcement
from the night before.
Yorke was some very ugly things about JD, called him names and
questioned his character.
Yorke even allowed some clown to call in and use the F word
over the air as the caller was dumping on DePetro.
Since DePetro lives in EG it's not exactly out of his way to get
to West Warwick.
DePetro may have been out of line but Yorke came off as a sally.
Dan is macho mouth when hiding behind the microphone in the
studio but here he had a chance to say everything and anything
he wanted to FACE TO FACE and he said nothing.
Pretty poor!

Well yes Dan looks cowardly. I wonder if WPRO will talk about what happened? I bet NOT!!!
I wonder if WPRO will keep Laffey on once a month after Depetro taking over Dan Yorks show and screaming VOTE LAFFEY!!, VOTE LAFFEY!!!
Sure they will. Depetro and Laffey win....
My best to you all,

I ended up turning on the radio when it was just about over. I heard DePetro, got very confused because I knew I wasn't supposed to be hearing his voice, and then heard Dan tell him to put the microphone down.
Then my phone rang a few times...my mother and my aunts...asking if I had just heard what had happened. Can you tell we're AM radio geeks?
Sadly, I missed most of it. Did anyone happen to get a recording of it? I'd love to hear it. Better yet, I'd love to see a videotape of Dan's face when DePetro walked in and grabbed the mic...

From projo.com (9/10):
Unscripted on-air tussle disrupts radio fundraiser
John DePetro, angry about comments made on Dan Yorke's radio program, storms into a live show to benefit hurricane victims and briefly takes over the microphone.
01:00 AM EDT on Saturday, September 10, 2005
BY SCOTT MacKAY
Journal Staff Writer
WPRO talk-show host Dan Yorke and John DePetro, a former Rhode Island talk-radio host, got into an on-air spat yesterday after DePetro showed up uninvited at a show Yorke was hosting in West Warwick, wrested a live microphone from Yorke and made derogatory comments that were broadcast on air.
The tussle started after Yorke made comments criticizing Cranston Mayor Stephen P. Laffey for having DePetro as master of ceremonies for Laffey's Thursday announcement that he will challenge U.S. Sen. Lincoln D. Chafee in the Republican primary next year.
DePetro, who now hosts a radio talk show in Boston, apparently heard the comments and charged over to the Cardi's Furniture store on Quaker Lane in West Warwick, where Yorke was broadcasting live from an event designed to raise donations of items and money for victims of Hurricane Katrina.
At one point, DePetro asserted on the air that WPRO had offered him Yorke's afternoon radio slot. The two exchanged words, then DePetro left, according to the West Warwick police.
After the on-air exchange, David Bernstein, director of operations and news at WPRO, went on the show to denounce DePetro and say that Yorke's contract had recently been renewed.
"This was a DePetro out-of-his-mind experience . . . stupid DePetro stuff," said Bernstein in an interview last night. "DePetro was never offered the job."
Bernstein said he went on the air to assure "Dan's listeners that Dan's job was never offered to DePetro and . . . that Dan is the afternoon host and when Dan's contract was up for renewal, we renewed it."
DePetro is a longtime friend and supporter of Laffey and was master of ceremonies for his announcement on Thursday, but DePetro has no formal role in Laffey's campaign, said the mayor's spokeswoman yesterday.
Bernstein said he was upset that DePetro's theatrics had disrupted the event to help hurricane victims.
Yorke declined comment when reached last night. DePetro did not return a telephone inquiry seeking comment.

Reepetro, Laffey vs Yorke, WPRO.
Well I guess this means that WPRO won't be interested in hiring Depetro anytime soon. I honestly felt that if Depetro ever returned to Rhode Island that it would be on WPRO. Now I think he screwed that opportunity up for himself.

Re: Dan Yorkes job WAS offered!
Hi,
Well David is not being totally honest.
In fact Depetro was given the 'Red Carpet ' treatment by WPRO over a year ago. I don`t believe David actually did the talking. It was higher ups. Everyone at Cit knew it though. Andy Smith at the ProJo didn`t write about it ,but I believe he had the info. I can tell you when Depetro came into the building that cold Winter day, it sent CHILLS up EVERYONES spine!!
My best to you!

Re: Dan Yorkes job WAS offered!
Of Couse Depetro was offered the job. Bernstein was forced into Damage Control when Depetro spilled the beans. GOD forbid that Yorke ever find out that he's replaceable.

It reminds me of when the WWF would introduce a new wrestler by having him come out during a match to smack a guy over the head with a folding chair.....
