Re: R.I.P. Ed Doolan.
Started listening to Ed back in '77 when I had my first FM radio, on BRMB.
He hosted a great consumer program for many years, helped a lot of midlanders get their problems resolved with various authorities and organisations. Some may say he sounded a bit grumpy at times but he genuinely cared about the folk in his community. Sadly missed..
