Jack Berkovits coming to CFRB?

So he says according to what he posted today on Facebook;

I have accepted an offer  from NEWSTALK 1010 CFRB to host a weekly show.

This offer was made many weeks ago and it came with a proviso..if you run for mayor, you're off the air.

Make no mistake ..I will get terminated.
I will get terminated for making politicians and all Torontonians uncomfortable"

He will get terminated because his past shows weren't great. 

But that won't stop him from constantly referring to Omni Jewel Crafters. Only fair since I assume this is paid time. It was on Sauga 960 and he still lost the gig! 

So now CFRB has Greg Carrasco on Saturday and Jack Berkovits (I'm presuming Sunday since he can't work the Sabbath unless it's pre-recorded.) What could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully he pays his bills.   Sad that Newstalk 1010 has sunk this low.

About a month ago, I heard an interview with Berkovits as he was giving away free Stars of David, like a few thousand of them. It was tied to all the antisemitism present in the GTA. I thought it was an interesting idea but he did point out the stars were not gold!

Maybe Jack and Carolyn Parrish can team up for a sad, death-throes version of 'The Motts'.
