The DSR has learned (through Gregg Henson of GreggHenson.com) that Matt Dery has left 97.1. Dery served as executive producer of the Valenti & Foster program and Detroit Pistons studio host.
Dery joined WXYT-FM in 2009 after 12 years at WDFN-1130. In addition to Pistons pre and post game show work and his update duties at 97.1, Dery also worked the 2012 Lions season as the station’s pregame anchor.
Speculation is rampant that Dery already has another gig in town. The most likely rumor has Dery replacing Ryan Field at Fox Sports Detroit. Field recently left FSD for Los Angeles where he will work at the new Rupert Murdoch rival to ESPN, Fox Sports 1.
Another possibility is a gig at whatever FM station turns sports and brings Drew Lane along board.
An iMessage to Matt Dery inquiring about his status was still unanswered as of this writing.
