Tomorrow morning should make for some interesting listening for the Bill Good radio audience. Mr. Good has not one, but two scandal touched leaders penciled in on his agenda for the day. The CKNW morning talk show has long been the sounding board for the province, a place where the citizenry can vent and expel their venom. Long the domain of the likes of Jack Webster, Gary Bannerman and Rafe Mair, it now is home to multi task Bill. A guy with so many jobs, it explains where all the media jobs went to, Bill has them all.
Anyways tomorrow morning, Premier Gordon Campbell will guest early on, pumping up the new budget, the new cabinet and hopefully (for him anyways) dodging any nasty remembrances of the last year of scandal. Fat chance, Gord! At any rate, he is just the warm up act.
After the premier takes his leave, it's the main event. Prime Minister Paul Martin takes to the NW airwaves, still on his "no stone unturned tour". He'll join Bill via phone from Ottawa, to get the message out that the Liberals are changing their ways, out with the old, in with the new.
For Bill Good it's a chance to clean up the audience for the day, from 8:30 until noon, you can be sure most radios will be tuned to NW. For Rafe Mair it's a chance to rail on about how none of the leaders will appear on his show at AM 600, because he asks the "tough" questions. Rafe has long said that his confrontational style leads to cancellations, or out right refusals of the politicos to show up. He also coyly suggests that over at his old stompin' grounds, guests get an easier time of things from the new host of his old time slot.
As for Campbell and Martin, I'm Not sure what is in it for them. Perhaps its just a case of misery loving company.
