Do you think the Brink would consider doing a live web-cast. Sponsors could just as well advertise online as onair. It may give Bob & Bob Jr. a lot more production responsibilities but a lot more creative freedom. Who knows Bob could tell us how he real feels about Disney and DIS.

Don:
Given your report, I'd guess we'll get a dose of both hosts - Billy Charisma and The Godawful Book Gal. Too bad they can't find those Zock Brothers anywhere. They might have been half decent. But, they'd be missing Brink's timing model and economic insights. Ed Sullivan would have said "these are REALLY BIG shoes to fill".

If The Brink did go on the tour, I'd think it would have to be THE SENIOR tour as I understand he's getting up there in years. His excuse plagued performance in the recent Cactus Invitational shows he's no yongster like his son. Perhaps the old man is in denial about the aging process. He's probably popping another Vitamin E pill right now in preparation for his daily exercise program of running on the Florida beach and lifting bar bells. But it's not working - he's getting older (and hopefully wiser). It's guys like him who break legs and ankles trying to prove they are still young by overexerting at sports (I've seen it myself at my employer - grey haired VP's playing softball, spraining ankles, pulling muscles, breaking legs...). One of these days, we'll probably learn through the grapevine that The Brink is hobbling around on crutches. My cable system will be carrying The Hospital Channel soon. I understand they may have a time slot open on weekends for a good financial advice program. :-)))

Kidding aside, I sure hope he reaches agreement on a new multi-year contract to continue the MONEYTALK PROGRAM. I really look forward to learning from The Master Money Man each weekend. He's the only one on air with the brains !

RE: Holiday Fill-In Hosts

First, with regard to Bill Flanagan, the Fools, and the Goddess, I consider these hosts to be entertainment and not education. I don't need or have time for entertainment on weekend afternoons; I already have a rather full schedule on the weekends. Therefore, I will not spend my valuable weekend time listening to the guest hosts.

Bob is different. Although he is entertaining, his true value to me is his educational value. As an experienced investor, I can usually easily determine the competence of financial "experts." When I first heard Bob on Moneytalk, I realized that this was someone who really knew what he was talking about. He is one of the few people on the radio or TV who can regularly educate me. The Gift Horse Buying Opportunities, market calls on New Asia, etc., are a huge bonus. Despite my full weekend schedule, I make sure that I do not miss the educational (and money-making) opportunity offered by Bob.

For what its worth,
