Actually,Blute’s original partner was the late,great Andy Mose who died much too soon. That was the greatest AM show ever!!!
Whatever happened to Ozone. He was truly an aquired taste but I really grew to like him.Why was he fired?
That’s right—sorry I didn’t remember Andy! Not sure
where John “Ozone” Osterlind is these days.
Why was he fired? Found online:
“The Boston radio station WRKO-AM today announced that it has fired one of its talk show hosts, John Osterlind also known as “Ozone,” following comments calling for the “eradication” of the Palestinian people. On August 19, ADC President Mary Rose Oakar wrote to WRKO Program Director Mike Elder urging that Mr. Osterlind be dismissed when the suspension was completed. On August 12 around 6 a.m., a caller to the morning drive program on WRKO-AM cho-hosted by Mr. Osterlind suggested the “eradication of the whole Arab race.” Mr. Osterlind expressed interest in the eradication of the Palestinian people, and opened up the phone lines to discuss this program of “eradication.” His co-host, Mr. Peter Blute, made significant efforts to urge Mr. Osterlind to retract his comments or drop the subject of “eradication” of the Palestinian people altogether. Mr. Osterlind was suspended without pay for two weeks, pending further review of his relationship with the station. Today he was dismissed.”
I think ADC is an Arab anti-defamation organization.
I remember Moes, but from 105.7, I think.
