I think Cherry is just one of those guys that's too ingrained with HNIC and hockey in this country to actively push aside. His presence these days is fairly harmless, but he has a die-hard fan base, and probably still makes CBC good money. I doubt he'll be on for more than a few more years, and it's probably just not worth the negative publicity to kick him off at this stage....the people who don't respect him stopped listening years ago anyway.
