Father son and Father Daughter broadcast duos
There are some notable father son and father daughter broadcasting duos.\
In Canada we have Chris Cuthbert and his son Justin (on the FAN 590)
Dan and Ben Shulman\
Foster and Bill Hewitt
Dick and Stephanie Smythe
In the States
Jack and Joe Buck, who do baseball/football
Harry Caray and his son Harry Caray Jr. (7th Inning stretch fame at Wrigley Field...
Here is my discussion point...do you feel that the offspring of the these broadcasters, get in by the name or claim to fame? Or do they make it in broadcasting based on Merit?
Have at it Big Yella!

They didn't work together, but legendary CHUM morning man Jay Nelson's son Kevin was a huge star in Ottawa doing the same shift. Sadly, both died way too young.

I hold the thoroughly unsubstantiated view that most children who follow their parents into the same career generally fall short of the parent's' accomplishments.
This is generally less harmful to the 'greater good' in broadcasting than in politics. And I was saying that long before 2015.

Joe Buck aside, I agree.
Bob Mackowycz Sr. and Jr.
Does anyone know if John and Alison Northcott (both CBC) are related?

Thanks. Last night I had also thought of Wally and Glenn Crouter, but by the time I posted I could only remember the names that I posted. I guess that like madness, late nights also take their toll (and ironically because I had been busy with finding some info about my ancestors for my sister).
