CHICAGO (CBS) ¯
Drew Peterson, whose fourth wife has been missing for months, will have to look elsewhere for a date after management at a Chicago radio station pulled the plug on a proposed "Win A Date With Drew" contest.
Peterson had agreed to participate in the dating game segment while appearing today on legendary radio talker Steve Dahl's morning show. Dahl has been lampooning Peterson for months and the former suburban police sergeant called into the show on 104.3 JACK-FM this morning.
"My friends call me all the time and tell me ... Steve Dahl's making fun of you,'' Peterson told Dahl. At another point during the interview, Peterson's attorney, Joel Brodsky suggested the win-a-date stunt.
Late Wednesday afternoon, WJMK-FM General Manager Peter Bowen killed the idea, after outcry over the propriety of such a stunt. Bowen refused to say why the station decided to cancel the segment.
Bowen also said that if Peterson called the station, he would not be allowed on the air.
Earlier Wednesday, Dahl's website was promoting the Peterson dating segment for Thursday at 8 a.m.. However, later in the day, that reference had been removed from the dahl.com homepage.
