The contest that was set to match up Drew Peterson with a date on Thursday morning’s Steve Dahl program has been canceled.
The “Win a Date with Drew” segment was supposed to air at 8 a.m. on 104.3 Jack-FM but was later called off by WJMK-FM General Manager Peter Bowen, according to reports by CBS, the radio station’s parent company.
News of the contest caused a public outcry over the station’s attempt to set a date for Peterson, who has been named a suspect in his fourth wife’s Oct. 28 disappearance. Authorities are also investigating the drowning death of his third wife in March 2004.
