I did not get a chance to hear him. Loved him on CFRA in the mornings with Medeley. Greg Hebert is no my favourite RA newsie now of course. I was told that...
It was a pleasure to listen to Mike O'Brien replacing Jack Finnegan on Sunday, he was a lot of fun to listen to and sounded like he was having a good time. Of...

It'll be interesting to see how the Gazette covers Balcan, and whether the French newspapers mention his death or not. It's too early to know what local CBC...
Just got richer. It's sad to think that 3 radio legends who I grew up listening to are gone. Sinclair, Blackman and now Balcan. All 3 didn't have that "glitz...

Wow, you're bitter, did Standard dump u as a janitor or something? I heard the David Lisbona call this morning and to tell you the truth, if every caller asked...
Your reply to my posting is interesting. You obviously have a problem with free speech. And yes, by the way, I think I would do a helluva better job running a...
I'd thought early this morning about posting re Balcan...and both of these messages give me something to bounce off of. Balcan was a very comfortable morning...
