Depetro come back! We need someone with an IQ above Forrest Gumps.
 
Depetro come back? Hold on now. Don't you like getting updates on her family and her drinking buddy gals?

We need more soccer mom radio.

I need ' girl talk' like I need 4 hours of the View! lol..

I haven't seen her since her channel 6 days. She always looked good to me back then. I can do without "Girl Talk" though. However since I'm a guy.... I am sure the the show can do without me too. ;)
 
Interrupting the rude, hurtful, anonymous spitballs...

I heard that show and thought she did a solid job.

100-or-so-years-ago, when I worked there, I did every shift on that station EXCEPT mornings; and, to this day, I think I'd feel intimidated sliding into Salty's chair.

I heard a couple hours the other morning, and thought Tara sounded right-at-home.

Hooland,,Is it ok with you thats others have an opinion...Ron St Pierre should sub for Johnny D. 2 shifts Ron can handle.. Hooland, you're the person who thought Dave Barber was wonderfull too.. You 'liked' Air America... Makes me feel even better about my opinion.. By the way, your Studio remark was below the belt and like usual,, wrong..

Will never happen. Never happen. John and Ron don't get along, which means that John is not going to want Ron subbing for him. That also pulls Paul into the studio, which means that he can't get all of his job done on that day.

The solution they have is perfect. They pull the promotions chick to do the call screener/cohost thing, and she can do most of her other work at the same time. Quite surprised it's not just Tara and the board op.
 
You're right Someplace. Heard they hate eachother. Also WPRO isn't paying subs. Tara is on salary. Problem solved.
Gotta say one thing; If I had a wife like Tara, man I'd be up for battering! geezzzz..She is annoying!
Arhie Bunker and Edith.. 6 am to 10 am WPRO.


Ryan.
 
It is interesting that some of the hosts that WPRO has on during the day do not get along with each other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but John DiPietro does not get along with Mayor Cianci, Ron St Pierre and Dan Yorke, and Vice Versa. Matt Allen seems to get along with everyone. Any other hostilities? And what about at other radio stations - any other talk show hosts on the same station who dislike each other?
 
The price of admission...

Sure!

As for the rude, hurtful things posted above, perhaps we were just raised differently.

Anonymous spitballs are a-small-price-to-pay for having this forum.
It CAN be a useful opportunity for shoptalk.
Like listeners channel-surfing, users here have to glean worthwhile content among the snipes, and simply tune-out the rest.
 
Re: The price of admission...

It’s one thing to have a negative opinion, but are the misogynistic comments necessary? Making comments about wanting to see someone naked or she’d be hot if she lost "40 pounds" really show your maturity level and render your comments on her merits and talent, meaningless.
 
I really don't know how Tara can take JD. All he does is "playfully" insult her....or blame her for things he does wrong.

I can't stand the "Promotions Girl's" voice. It's like grating chalk on a blackboard.

I know that Tara does talk about drinking quite a bit, but JD
does goad her on about it.

She was good on Channel 6, though!

Holland-spot on! Something I've been saying for years on this site. Yes, people you can have an opinion; but when it goes out of bounds (as pretty much most things about Tara have been on this thread) YOU SHOULD GET CALLED OUT ON IT! Seeing who made the comments, I'm not surprised.
 
I like her. But, as a woman I never went in for girly talk, pedicures, on and on.

No girly talk, fortunately our daughter was very athletic and also could be very feminine. Hope our grandaughters are like that.

Athletic, not femine frillies.


I also suspect Tara is very intelligent, , but, plays the role to make DePetro look more intelligent.

You're making my point. If she were "at-home" the conversations with family and about drinking buddies would have been appropriate, but maybe not so professional on-air. Unless, of course, it's on a "girl talk" show.

JD is not much better when he gives us call-in sports analysis from his 11 year old.

Does this follow the hosting standard set by Salty??
 
Why are we still talking about Salty? Salty is gone. I don't think the station has to remain Salty's station for all of eternity. I don't understand why some people here believe that it does.
