Bruce Williams retires from live broadcasting on March 5, 2010 according to the Global American Broadcasting network. His radio career started with NBC in 1981. I enjoy listening to Bruce, but no local stations carry his program, so I have been listening on line. Dennis, Salmon Creek, WA __

That is too bad, as I like Bruce Williams. Met him at an NAB convention in LA back in the 90s. A nice guy, but he is way up in his years. He must be close to 80. Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside Oregon "Come visit us for the 2010 IRCA convention held Sept 24-26 at the Inn At Seaside."

Pat, I try to find the age of Bruce Williams, but could not find a age. He was in the Korean war, so he's probably near 80 years of age. Found out that Bruce is in the Radio Hall of Fame. He offered his recorded broadcasts free of charge to stations carrying his program. Dennis, Salmon Cre

I had a very different experience when he came to Santa Barbara many years ago. I'd been a regular listener for a long time. I enjoyed listening to his no nonsense and insightful advice to the very interesting questions posed by listeners. He came across as the nice guy who lives next door. One day

Remember that creepy theme song? "Someone to talk to Someone to care Someone you know Who will always be there Tune in Turn on Talknet We care" I always knew the "callers" (all sounding between 25 and 54, natch) were prescreened and heavily coached: no nutjobs, ramblers, etc. They would artic

Mr. Google is a pretty smart guy. I consult him often. I thought Bruce Williams would be wearing a nice suit or even dress a little more casual than that. The expensive looking tuxedo struck me as severe overkill. Who was he trying to impress? His manner of speech was completely different than on

I'd totally forgotten about that weird touchy feely theme music. I don't listen to radio talk shows. I think a lot of the people call just to hear their voice come out of the radio. Radio talk shows aren't educational or an open forum for the public to express their feelings or ideas any more. They

Interesting that others had a different experience with Bruce. I wonder if it made a difference being on a one on one with him? I have never called in on his show, but I have listened off and on through the years. By the way, I also met Dr. Laura. I wasn't impressed with her at all! Tom Leykis w
