Ex-RKO talker DePetro could go national

http://www.golocalprov.com/business/exclusive-major-shake-up-at-wpro-am/

>>John DePetro who currently holds down the 6am till 10am slot is said to have a major deal in play that could include a nationally syndicated show down the line. Details of what that national show may be are not being made public yet. And because of that timing opportunity, we hear that a change in the morning show will mean that DePetro moves his show to a new time from 9am till Noon.

DePetro was dismissed from WRKO after his comments about Matt Amorello and Grace Ross (and perhaps due to low ratings, too). (Would a Boston station pick him up if so? 'PRO comes in well
though as it is)

Will he be able to fix the ratings like he did a couple years ago? A big phony and a woos bag. Let go in Boston beacuse of more than Ross and ratings. Really and truly disliked by all.
 
Who knows how far he'd get--and yes I do remember the ratings fix! He may work out in
Cianci-land (Buddy moving to 3 pm?), but anywhere else?
 
It seems every host with a little notoriety starts to think national, even though both Howie and Jay have tried and failed to catch on. Does DePetro really think he's better than both of those two?

Yes.
I have no idea how true this story is. Maybe he could do weekends on some conservative talk-net or something.
But you would think someone with a syn' deal should at least sound good though I guess someone like Levin proves that isn't the case.
I mean Boston didn't even accept the way he came across so I find it hard to see where Tulsa would?
