Isn't Paul Larsen a major part of Island Radio group?

And he looks freakishly like Burt Ward who played Robin on the Batman TV series.

Like the real live Burt Ward or more like the animated Burt Ward on the opening credits??
BTW, it appears Burt's finally moved away from the "D" list acting career he's plugged at since Batman and is now a video effects producer; did some of the work on the feature "Bullet Proof Monk". The last acting gig for him was a V/O on The Simpsons. You can probably guess which guest character he supplied the voice for.

Looks to me like Christain Hall has more than the needed credentials for the new Harvard modern rock in Calgary. I've never worked for him, but he seems to have a good track rfecord...albiet maybe not Classic rock.
Steve Parsons is also a good nuts and bolts PD. Plays it safe though...no real innovative ideas..but a very good common sense guy.
