1210 WPHT afternoon host Rich Zeoli is on location in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention. However, that doesn’t mean his show will be swamped with guests from the other side of the political aisle.
To begin his first show from the Windy City, Zeoli admitted to listeners that he had not filled the guest sheet with Democrats, noting that he had been rebuffed by every guest they attempted to bring on the program.
“What a show we have planned for you today and no surrogates. None,” Zeoli said. “Nobody will come on with us. No one. We’ve been asking. Even John Fetterman won’t come out with us. I mean, come on.”
Fetterman, a Democrat, serves as one of two Senators for the state of Pennsylvania, home to 1210 WPHT.
Zeoli, who was also on hand in Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention in July, added that there was a drastically different feel on media row for the Democratic event than the one from the conservative side.
“I gotta make sure I’m not too loud for my fellow broadcasters who are here, but it’s a little low energy in the media row room,” he said. “We got to pick it up, pick up the energy. This is low energy. Compared to the RNC, anyway.”
