Pete Rose to be first guest on new WQRT Cincinnati radio show

"Pete Rose leads off when Andy Furman debuts 5-7 p.m. Monday on "Real Talk" WQRT-AM (1160) after a two-year absence from radio."...

• "This is the third station for Furman, long-time host of WLW’s “SportsTalk” franchise. He did a year to help launch “SupertalkFM96.5″ in 2007, but lost his job when the station switched to 96 ROCK in December 2007."...

""Pete called me and said he wanted to be my first guest. How do you say no to Pete Rose?" says Furman, 60, host of WLW-AM's top-rated "SportTalk" show for 18 years....

• Furman was fired without cause by WLW-AM in 2006, three weeks after being suspended for calling ex-Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh a "racist" on his show. Furman says Houshmandzadeh had called him a "white --- punk" for ripping him on the air after Houshmandzadeh missed a paid appearance on WLW-AM.

Two months later, he debuted on "Supertalk FM96.5." That gig lasted a year, until "96 Rock" replaced talk in December 2007.

• On "The Furman Factor" Monday, he plans to discuss the Super Bowl with former Bengal Eric Thomas and sidekick-producer J.C. McCoy."...
