Rosey's Got The Goods

August 21, 2008 @ 08:16

Earlier in the week I wrote about how insular radio is, and used Rick Hodge as an example.

Even though he was part of a smash hit morning radio show in Toronto, there would still be a lot of people in the city who would have no idea who he was, especially CFRB listeners because their demographic is so much different than CHUM-FM's.

Today I have a television example. Her name is Rosey Edeh. She's a track and field analyst for CBC in Beijing and she's wonderful.

The first time I saw her on CBC's coverage is actually the first time I "ever" saw her.

She's articulate, she's highly professional and she's downright beautiful. She's also a regular on "Entertainment Tonight Canada" but I didn't know that because I've never once watched that show.

Edeh has worked for CBC radio, which I rarely listen to, and she was a weather reporter for CNN and NBC morning shows a few years ago. But a few years ago, I was in no position to be watching morning television because I was doing morning radio.

Anyway, this woman has got the goods. I could watch and listen to her all day long and she brings a perspective to track and field that few other professional broadcasters can.

And that's because she's a three time Olympian who ran the 400 metres for Canada in 1988, 1992 and 1996.

Fred: You mentioned she worked at CNN and NBC….. hmmm I have to ask but why is it the major US networks only hire women or visible minorities from Canada (the only exception is John Roberts at CNN).

Before I get labeled a racist or a sexist just look at the list of Canucks who have been hired to work down south:

Rosey Edeh
Ali Velshi
Jermaine Franklin
Mark Jones
Nancy Newman
John Saunders

I’m sure there are more…….

Notice they fall into one or both of those categories???

Peter Jennings and Keith Morrison are a couple of names to add to YOUR list.
By making a list like that you are labeling yourself.

Thanks Lew. I wondered how long it would take someone to cry racism.

Jennings and Morrison went to the US over 30 years ago. Anyone recent???

Who in hell supposed constructing a mosque at ground zero was basically wise? I'm no great fan of either Glen Beck or Sarah Palin but yet when compared with Obama and the supremely stupid administration, those two are prodigies, come on The united states, there is a little strange stuff happening here.
