Deters Worked For Free at WLW

Did attorney Eric Deters really do his 700 AM WLW talk shows for free, to promote his law practice?

Yes, for a while, according to a story posted at cincinnati.com.

Deters, who was fired by WLW-AM last Tuesday for remarks in a video blog on Facebook, said he took over the 9 p.m.-midnight slot last September for no pay, while continuing to do weekend shows.

"I got my foot in the door, and... it was very good for my law practice," said Deters, who has represented such high-profile clients as fired Dayton High School teacher Nicole Howell, who was found not guilty in 2009 of having sex with a student.

After working seven days a week, he said he emailed bosses asking: "Hey, aren't you going to start paying me?"

WLW-AM's response, he said, came in December, when he was told Marc Amazon would replace him, bumping Deters to weekends in January. The station paid him $10 an hour January-March, and nothing since, he said.
