I dont know were Fallriveractive got his info from.
Depetro makes more money than ANY R.I. station could ever
pay him. He has 2 more years under contract
Johnny D.Made some big sacrifices to commit to RKO.
Enough with the rumors!
Alan.

I am sure John will be back to Prov at some point in his career but I'm sure his goal is to last in Boston for at least 3 years.

Hello Lastimecaller,
I didnt mean to go after Fallriveractive, I just know hes wrong.
Johnny D.makes a huge amount of money at WRKO. More money in one year ,than hed get in 4 years at WHJJ. He loves RI, but a guy like John moves up, not down.
Hes NOT comming back to RI.
Thanks,
Alan.

maybe it SEEMS like a lot of $$ to somebody in R.I. radio, but it ain't. Contract not worth the paper its printed on.

Alan, much of the Rhode Island speculation concerning DePetro has
to do with the anticipated on-air shake-up at WRKO.
I agree with you that DePetro will not walk away from his gig in Boston.
However, if WRKO wants to go in another direction and they buy out the
remainder of his contract then he'd no doubt be looking to return to RI.
I think that's where this speculation is coming from, WRKO is under new
management and the shake-up (changes in their morning drive show) has
already begun.

nothing to buy out, just cut a sev. check.
