According to The Providence Journal, radio talk show host John DePetro said Friday that he has left WADK-AM in Newport and will be making a “major announcement” on Monday morning about where he is going next. DePetro was a talk show host on WPRO-AM for 10 years and had been on the air at the Newport station since January.
He departs just short of two weeks after his show was the center of political attention in Rhode Island after state Democratic Party second vice chairman Joseph DeLorenzo made controversial comments about a state representative’s allegations of sexual harassment at the State House. DePetro has previously been the center of controversies relating to offensive statements he has made.
