Cianci show will run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Former Providence Mayor Vincent A. "Buddy" Cianci will co-host a 10 a.m.-to-2 p.m. radio show at News Talk 630 WPRO, the station announced this morning.

Current early morning host Ron St. Pierre will join Cianci for The Buddy Cianci show, which will debut Sept. 20 on the AM station.

Cianci was released from federal prison in May after serving a sentence for racketeering.

Over the past 20 years, he has sandwiched radio work around two long stretches at Providence City Hall. He first worked at WHJJ and then briefly at WPRO in 2002 before going to prison on a corruption charge.

Some other shows and hosts are rearranging their schedules.

John DePetro will move up into the 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. slot.

The Dan Yorke show will start an hour earlier, running from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Bill Haberman will anchor WPRO's First News , which starts at 5 a.m.

The Rush Limbaugh Show will move to Talk Radio 920 WHJJ, that station has announced. It will debut Sept. 17 and occupy a noon-to-3 p.m. time slot, the same slot it had at WPRO.
