Read some of the incidents and lawsuits this guy has incountered.

Pullen said Barber has a flair for publicity -- but not all the publicity has been good.

In 2000, Rebecca Crossnoe, an employee at Barber's then-radio station, WFDF-AM, sued Barber and the radio station for sexual harassment. The Michigan state attorney general's office investigated but did not file criminal charges.

The Flint Journal reported the case was settled out of court.

Barber.

In 2003, Barber was charged with impersonating a peace officer at a bar in Grand Rapids, Mich. The Flint Journal reported the charge was reduced to illegal possesion of a law enforcement badge, and Barber paid about $100 in fines and court costs.


In 2002, Barber was in court suing Major League Baseball over that year's All-Star game, which ended with a 7-7 tie in the 11th inning after the teams ran out of pitchers.

An outraged Barber decided that baseball had misrepresented the All-Star Game under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act, and he took the sport to court.

He dropped the suit after baseball filed to move the case to federal court, and Barber realized he couldn't afford to keep going.

Man....................
 
Replacing Matt Allen with anyone is insane.

Why bring someone onboard when you already have a strong talent with a local background?
 
This proves that many Radio stations would be run better by Monkeys.

Per today's Projo article it looks like Holland Cooke was involved in some way. I've always wondered if he still had ties to WPRO in some consulting capacity. Maybe he does or maybe he doesn't, but it looks like Barber vacationed on Block Island so either the station or Barber could be a client of Cooke's.

holland's a fool, puts personal political bent ahead of good judgment, a real block island blockhead
 
this line I don't believe at all

**from story**

"WPRO's Haynes said she was aware of the case, did some research of her own -- she declined to specify exactly what that entailed -- and went ahead with her decision to hire Barber."

call it c.y.a.
