Better Than I Expected

   I surf morning radio programs most mornings, still thinking there
   ought to be something reasonably informative and entertaining. More
   and more, I'm finding the new AM 1500 offering with Patrick Reusse
   where I soon wind up.
   When first announced, I thought this could never work. Sportswriters
   are occupationally predisposed not to be morning people, let alone go
   on the air before sunrise. Even if he did I thought, his raspy voice
   would never stand up. But with his job at the Star Tribune in obvious
   jeopardy, he's apparently summoned the will power necessary.
   I also thought he might let his liberalism get the better of him too
   often, but even that hasn't proved to be a problem for me. He works
   well with Jay Kolls, and newsman Bob Berglund would be an asset to any
   local program. The only negative is the traffic reports every 4-5
   minutes it seems, but that's no different than the competition.
   This is the first real upgrade to KSTP-AM lineup since they hunkered
   down when Rush and Lewis left.
