I agree with Table5 about Wills and I think they really need to dump him as an insider. But as others have mentioned Maher was always the weak spot when he did the morning show.
I actually have a hard time imagining what people must expect from most of these radio and tv guys. I guess this is one of those things where the people who complain are the only ones you ever hear speak up. No one ever starts media personality appreciation threads.
I'm not even saying that you have to love everything every guy does. I'm just surprised that with so many options out there people would continue to listen to and then complain about radio tv personalities that they hate so much.
I'll say what I've said before, I like pretty much every tv and radio personality except a select few like Healy, but more so because he's an actual dick. And while they may have some weak areas I'm overall happy with 90% of the pbp guys and media personalities on tv and radio. Healy, Cox, Strombo being the other 10%. Actually lets just get rid of all of the SN studio people. They almost all suck. See now I'm one of the haters.

The problem is there aren't so many options out there. One radio station broadcasts Flames games. It's literally the only reason 960 exists.
Sometimes it's baseless, but the major whipping boys in broadcasting don't stick around. Remember Brynn Griffiths? We all remember the days of Rob Kerr and Charlie Simmer, and I think many would rather see the return of a National Energy Program.
If Sportsnet keeps Wills passed his contract, they truly enjoy showing contempt for their audience.
