Agreed. Whether you love him or hate him (and there are certainly both represented here!) he is the official opposition leader and therefore an important guest for a news/talk station. My guess is he'll also be on AM640 at some point, as well.  

why would he...does he have or want a podcast?

We used Larry LeBlanc on a regular basis and found him to be both informative and entertaining.  Haven't heard from him in ages though.

Fact. He destroyed the ratings at Newstalk 1010 and CJAD 800. Both had very respectable A25-54 #'s with Barb hosting in Toronto and John Pole hosting in Montreal.

Maybe he needed more time? It's possible he's right about how he was treated, but from an audience perspective Bell has a pretty easy case.

Interesting that Michelle Dubé's roots seem just a little darker today.  Is M. Melling still with the company ?  Tick Tick.
