What's Matt Going To Do??

I don't like talking about rumors, I like talking about facts. With that, I have it from a VERY reputable source that Matt will, 100%, have a full-length evening show on WPRO beginning at 6p. The deal is done and from what I understand, will be announced soon. Best news to come around in a LONG LONG TIME!

Can you name this reputable source? So I can decide if it actually is a reputable source please!

Else Ed - all you are doing is spreading a rumour..

With that - I sign off

Can't quote the source for reasons but to protect the innocent; but can confirm I heard the same exact thing
 
I heard Matt say there will be a BIG announcement on his show Monday! How I miss The Captain and his 5- Star announcements. Just reminds me of that kind of excitement. I am so happy for Matt, he has paid his dues.

Grats Matty!
 
Matty Congrats on buying Randy Weavers getaway cabin , up in the Mountains!!
Now theirs a conservative!

Seriously, Matt is the next generation of Talk Radio. enough said!

In that case......you'll want to get your hands on some classic early 80's WHJJ airchecks of Steve White preparing to give a big announcement. You know......the whole bag of tricks......Putting your right hand over your heart while Big Ben's Bells ring out five times, and the unforgettable Kate Smith belting out "God Bless America"......and play it just before Matt gives the big announcement.

Don't bother with any WALE airchecks (if they even exist)......by that time, Steve was already past his prime.

Love him or hate him......we won't see the likes of The Captain in this business again.
 
How I would love some SW air checks. Back in the day he asked for some help organizing his " archives" , but he never delivered the tapes. What fun it was back in the day.............

I'm glad to hear that Citadel has expanded into the housing market. I had always thought it was just a rumor. Good to hear that it's not. I might look into getting one of those apartments with the picture window that looks into the studio of WPRO. That would be neat. ;)
 
Matt is going to do the Saturday show for the next few months. He mentioned it tonight.
This is the best thing to happen to talk radio since Steve Kass. Hope Matt makes history!

I wish it were Depetro 10 to 2. Yorke 2 till 6 and then Matt.
Aside from Cianci standing against Cicilline, he is Wishy - Washy on everything else.
I remember the great things Depetro was able to do at WHJJ , when he was 10 to 2.
When he was able to be the Talk Host . I know WPRO had to make things change to get Cianci.
Maybe when Buddy gets bored or moves on from radio, then WPRO can do something like what I have written. WPRO is clearly the power house of R.I. talk radio.
The only bright spot at WHJJ is Helen Glover. At least there's alittle life still there.
 
What will happen to Mike Savage's show on WPRO? Mike must be furious with all the station and time changes for his show between WPRO and WHJJ. I know that Jerry Doyle , now on 10-12 on WPRO, is also on WADK 1540 in Newport from 4-6 weekdays. But despite these changes at WPRO and WHJJ, I still believe that WHJJ will continue gain some audience share because it does have a great lineup during the day with Helen, Glenn, Rush, Sean, and Mark. I get tired of hearing all local radio all day, with some hosts talking about the same subject.
 
Right now, Savage airs 7-10, my understanding( don't remember if they said this or not on air yesterday, maybe I'm getting it off the board) is that Savage will be 9-11 now with Jerry Doyle 11-1, they cut an hour off each show and tape delay the 2nd hour of Savage
