Besides Deputy Dan and the recently-revealed
Dewey-point Hopper, has anyone compiled a
list of who else is doing the expand-o-matic
traffic reports on KT'R?

And...I haven't listened, but...do they do
traffic updates during breaks in Suns games,
or is it limited to the pre- and post-game
shows?

You tellin' me that Dewey Hopper can't find a TV gig? CHannel 5 is hiring every retread in town, why not Dewey? What happened to his gig in Sacramento?

Dave Frazier is the one I've heard the most.

From what I have been told , Dewey had a stroke a couple of years ago so the TV gods might not think he is "presentable" enough ....only Dick Clark gets that courtesy.
