Yeah Ron Breeding and David Wallace would probably be the two best that I know of. Bart Haynie is a hell of a reporter... Rita Richardson up at Russellville was with KARN for a number of years... she is a dang good newsperson. Good radio newspeople are hard to find...
I for one utterly despise gathering news with every bone in my body.... I have a lot of respect for the guys who actually can do it and do it well. I don't mind reading it, but being a reporter just isn't my cup of tea.
