Dean? What about Bulldog Drummond? As for him being grabbed up by a 'large local station,' there is no such thing [as large or local] anymore. the only really local stations besides wls are 'bbm and 'gn and neither is really in hiring mode these days. Gotta say, that old cameon and langford show was great radio, though.

Dean? Are you serious? Did you forget about my man Dick Kay? He is the dean.

Yeah, this would be a good chance for channel 7 to get rid of Andy Shaw, who is absolutely horrible, and replace him with someone who will do a good job as a political reporter. Shaw is one of the worst reporters I have ever seen. His reports are always tainted with his own political commentary that, in many cases, is bizarre and factually inaccurate. I have no idea why his bosses let him get away with it.

Great interview, and I hope one of the large local stations grabs him up. He's been an interesting person to listen to and has a treasure trove if knowlege of our infamous politics.
