Rudy Blair’s one of the great entertainment journalism voices in Toronto… A mistake for 680 News to take him and his beat off the airwaves, for sure. I’m sure not turning to the radio for traffic reports anymore.

Toronto radio buffs may know the name Hal Blackadar. He was at Corus during Humble and Fred's heyday and I've heard many a Hal story from them. By all accounts he was a good fella.

I'm sorry to learn Hal passed away this week at the age of 85.
