Your top 5 most respected Radio people

[Kerianne]

1. David Brudnoy - Was the absolute best in talk. Period.
2. Paul Sullivan - Speaks from the heart and is very funny.

Both drove me crazy politically but I admire their ability to have a civil AND interesting discussion with anyone. Rare.

3. Phil Hendrie - Innovative and creative. Developer of the last original idea in radio. Hysterical and loves a good steak.
4. Dom Giordano - Produced for him in Philly. A real class act. Real passion. Local talk, local issues that make a real connection with the listener.
5. Glenn Beck - Worked with him during his transition to Philly from Tampa. Puts alot of effort into the show, is pretty funny, and is a great down to earth guy off the air. In fact, he's quiet and sweet.

So anyone who doesn't agree with you politically, sucks on the air?

Kerianne, I must say I applaud your post! As a sponsor of the Phil Hendrie show, let me just say this...come on down to my steakhouse. We offer prime rib, slow roast...the best meat you'll ever have in your life.

come on down and let me put my meat in your mouth. I'm Ted Bell!

Consider Mike Sand's(Wice-am 1960's)....Big Ange (Wpro-am 1960's)
Joel A. Spikak (Wpro-am 1960's), and one of Providence's best P.D.s that really brought Lite 105 FM to it's still most respected ratings position, and he was also it's Operations Manager, Vinnie Lewis. Anyone know where Vinnie is now?
