Talk:Howard Eskin

Comment
To all Eskin editors, please input factual information and not personal opinions, as I am sure those who listen to his radio show have many of him. As much as you'd like to belittle (or praise) him, please keep it fact based and neutral.

Article requires cleaning
I think being the top-rated drive time show in a major American city meets the notability standard. 150.108.232.27 (talk) 22:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

This article is in serious need of cleaning/copy-editing.

I didn't see any mention of Eskin's brief and failed attempt at national syndication circa 1991. Howard Puke Eskin is what we're now calling him.

Should we mention his Jewish faith and activities in Philadelphia's Jewish community? --68.80.243.119 05:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I think is it fine to mention that he is Jewish, but not sure that it belongs in the lead. Is he notable for being Jewish?  If so keep it in the top, but if it is more incidental (probably the case) it should be moved down in the article.  Also, I think "Jewish" is probably adequate, "Hebrew/Jewish" is not seen very commonly. --Brian G 13:08, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, I don't know who is responsible for referring to Eric Lindros as "the oft-concussed former Flyer", but it really made my day. Thanks for the laugh.

SportsRock was on WMMR in 1992-1993, not the early 80s. It started around September 1992 and they'd dropped the format by early spring. 71.185.4.141 (talk) 23:13, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

"In the mid '80s Eskin co-hosted with John Debella on WMMR's Morning Zoo, their combination was advertised as "Sports Rock" . . . On radio, the "Sports Rock" format proved unsuccessful at WMMR. It began in the Fall of 1992 and lasted until the Spring of 1993." Yes, the article contradicts itself on this point. Would someone with firsthand knowledge please harmonize these two sentences?
