The moves center around morning host John DePetro, who is looking to land a nationally syndicated show, according to the local website GoLocalProv.com. DePetro has recently been doing weekends on WPRO's Washington, DC sister-station WMAL-AM (630). On Wednesday, WPRO that announced DePetro will move from the 6am-10am morning slot to a 9am-12pm late-morning time, pushing the current 10am-2pm midday host Dan Yorke to 12pm-3pm, and shifting former Providence mayor Buddy Cianci to 3pm-6pm. Speculation now centers on who would replace DePetro in mornings. WLNE-TV weekend news anchor Andrew Gobeil is one name being floated. WPRO PD Paul Giammarco says, "We are close to announcing our new morning show, which I feel will be raising the bar on objective news reporting in the state of Rhode Island."
