inkman Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I know the sample size may be rather small on this one, but for any WHTK 1280 listeners out there I'd like to hear your opinions on this. I personally think this couldn't have been a much worse pick. DiTullio is a newscaster blowhard that sounds like a dog swallowing a cat. He just recites stats from the last 50 years without any real knowledge of the game.

Of is he just doing a "tryout" this week? I like DiTullio. I have only listened for a few minutes today and a little yesterday. He is hard to listen to. But he is likable.

I wonder if he will still do R-News?
OnTheRocks Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 i think he is ok. i hope it puts an end to some of the marathon calls they permit "Dom from East Rochester" to go on for.

beerme1 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I'm assuming this is the John Ditullio who shows up on Wease's show and does sports?

ACor58 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I really don't like Ditullio. I think that its his voice that drives me nuts. I was hoping that they hired Carl Faulk, who did a great job filling in for Brad.

Dude has good takes, is funny, and is nice on the eardrum as opposed to Gargoyle head.

ajzepp Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Never heard the guy, but I know he's from Erie, PA, so I support my brotha!
CosmicBills Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Knowing both, Brad will be missed. John is great, knows his stuff but doesn't have the same on air relateablity that Brad has. I think it's because radio is different than TV, though working with Wease helped JD tremendously I think. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

Is it a sports talk show even?
inkman Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 I like him. But good god I can't imagine him doing a four hour talk show.Is it a sports talk show even? 771443[/snapback] Yes. It's 3 hours. It's where you can hear a 40 something guy frequently use terms like douche, reek, and sissy. I tried to give it another chance today and he spent 20 minutes doing his pro-Yankee rant, during football season in Western NY. When college basketball and hockey start, his ignorance will be evident. I'd be shocked if he was still doing this show 1 year from today. He is not charasmatic, not insightful, and just plain annoying. I don't know the ratings work but I will be anxious to see how they fair.

Who are his producers?

I think that he is trying to bring Wease's unfunny brand of radio to his unfunny show.
kegtapr Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Word to your moms. Except you will no longer hear him in that capacity. 770937[/snapback] Can we get wease to go with him?
inkman Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Yesterday, a caller took him to task about the terms "douche bag" and "scum bag". He was trying to explain why those terms were degrading when DiRetardio tells him their not and to "bite him", before hanging up on them. I really hope this jackass keeps this crap up, he'll be crawling back to wease soon enough.
