0

News Talk 630 AM and 99.7 FM WPRO in Providence will debut a new live and local line-up Monday. Veteran talk host Dan Yorke returns to afternoon drive, the position held by former Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci for over seven years until he passed away earlier this year. Yorke previously hosted the 12PM Noon-3PM show on WPRO, and also hosts his own daily television show on the local FOX affiliate.

In addition Matt Allen who’s been on WPRO since 2000, moves into the 12PM Noon to 3PM slot. Former TV reporter, Buddy Cianci’s producer, and on-air talent Tara Granahan, will now host early evenings from 6PM to 9PM. The new line-up kicks off with the News with Gene Valicenti in Morning Drive. John Depetro continues in his 9AM to Noon slot.

John Sutherland, Vice President and Market Manager, Cumulus Media-Providence said, “These are well deserved opportunities for our local team. Keeping the heritage of our News Talk programming live and local on WPRO in Southern New England will continue to be a vital part of our success in the future.“

The station is owned by Cumulus
