Surprise: DiSpirito Bolts WOR/NY

Rocco DiSpirito

In a surprise move, chef ROCCO DISPIRITO has exited BUCKLEY Talk WOR-A/NEW YORK. The "celebrity chef" had been slated to move from middays to afternoon drive in JANUARY, replacing BOB GRANT, but the NEW YORK POST's JOHN MAINELLI reported in SUNDAY's editions that DISPIRITO says that a dispute over creative direction for the show and not a reported complaint by longtine station advertiser FLEMINGTON FURS over anti-fur comments by DISPIRITO led to the exit.
