Bill Anderson, an Eastern Canadian broadcaster whose interviews included then Senator John F. Kennedy & Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler and whose broadcast career - one that began after becoming a war hero during the WW II - saw him, at one point, part of the army press liaison with the likes of Matthew Halton & Walter Cronkite, has died. He was 98.

Bob Hamilton, the long-time voice of KMOX radio St. Louis, having been a news anchor for 20 years, from the early 1980s through until the 2000s, has died. He was 82. There are conflicting statements on how he died. The obit says COVID-19, a friend of his says kidney failure.

Sad and shocking news just in that the lovely Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley has been viciously attacked in the street by a mugger.I hope and pray she is OK and able to return to her radio show ASAP. And I hope the police catch the thug that did it and bang him up  !:angry: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/13864445/radio-2-jo-whiley-street-mugging/
