MAKE ROOM FOR BUDDY AT WPRO

We know he's a criminal. We know he isn't Mr Nice Guy.

Yes, but he has served his time - paid the price for his criminal activities.
We should allow Buddy the fresh start he deserves!

And lets be honest, its all about the money, and numbers.. If Buddy can draw the audience, he will have a show! As soon as the audience turns Buddy off, then he is out!

Jazzy!
 
A well-loved felon, not like Tom Finneran in Boston (WRKO) :)
As a tribute to the Prince of Providence, the Fox series FAMILY GUY, which takes place in
fictional Quahog, RI, has a junior high school named after Buddy.

>>http://familyguy.wikia.com/wiki/Buddy_Cianci_Junior_High_School

"Buddy Cianci Junior High School is the school that Chris Griffin and Jake Tucker attend. Randall Fargus was also a teacher there for many years, until Peter got him fired. It is named for the twice convicted criminal and ex-mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, Buddy Cianci."
 
anyone pick up on the little feud going on between hjj and wpro regarding the article? Janiaious alluded to the fact that Buddy made his radio chops at WPRO which is absolutely not true. he definitly made his mark at whjj. in fact i had forgotten he even worked at Pro for several weeks(not months or years) until St Pierre mentioned it in response to HJJ Bruce Newburys comments on Friday night about the misinformation in the paper.

anyone who thinks putting Buddy on the air will not be a ratings winner should consider that thinking as tothe reason why you are not or no longer working in talk radio. sure it may be morally questionable but thats not going to stop people from listening-quite the contrary. those guys are going to kill each other to get him. and no one hates each other more the Dipetro and York so thats not going to play into it. funny thing is, i wouldn't be surprised if Buddy doesn't accept an offer from either. that 5 years was a pretty tramatic experience for the ole boy, and getting back into the spotlight may not be on his agenda. perhaps there are more important things in life for him now.
 
between his conversation w/ gene on channel 10 and his morning show, St Pierre has said evrything but announce Buddy's airshift time. my bet is still 12 noon to 3 after they bounce the tiring Rush. good luck WALE
