    Bill doesn't rate high relative to the likes of Webster and Mair

    His puffball interviews remind me of Barbara Walters

    Is this like sports where every body gets a prize.

    RTDNA "Lifetime Achievement"

    This sounds like a new award. Bill didn't interview folks so much as he gave them a soap box to say what ever they wanted with no embarrassing questions to up set them.

    he has the lowest ratings on CKNW, and if CKNW had any competion Bill would have been retired 10 years ago

    Think he should just send the award to AGT over at CKPM .

    That is where I started to go hear the real truth from someone that can give facts not liberal opinions..

    Congrats on your achievement, just tried to send you a tweet, however there was not enough room, what I was trying to say Is that in the past I have travelled Western Canada and at times the only radio station I could receive was CBC, and at a young age I learned to love Peter Zowski, and he grew on me like you have, and in my opinion you`re both first class.

    Cheers!

    But Ken280, the readers consultant, a man with a briefcase case 50 miles away from home does not receive anything. What a shame for the man known as Mr. Double Standards.

    well done Bill.

    Hi Bill. A big bouquet to you. It takes quite a man to stay with your profession for as long as you have. As far as i'm concerned, you give balance and voice to all who call in to your show. Only the uninformed and biased (can you say NDP supporters) claim otherwise. Unless you espouse 100% socialist claptrap , you will never get the support from the left. Keep doing what you are doing and retire when you decide and not be dicouraged by the rabble !!!

      @ Brian WA I'm not an NDP supporter and I'm not a Bill Good fan so I guess your generalization is a little off the mark !
      Everyone is entitled tontheirnopinion, but I think you will find that Bill to be a nonstarter when it comes to asking penetrating questions of significance !
