Long, but a good story. Better than most I've read on the man. Globe and Mail

Again, the article fails to point out that the "Moses" story could have been entirely different had it not been for Alan Waters' bailout of City TV just before it went down the tube. Alan kept Moses on the job, despite the fact almost no one in the CHUM organization could stand his overinflated opinion of himself and his enormous ego. Anyone else taking over the station probably would have given Moses his walking papers.

Frankly Mike, I think you're being unfair. Moses is very much like Allan Waters only without The Ego. Both men had a knack of usually hiring and developing Great People, showing them what needed to be done but not how to do it. Certainly there were more than a few Culture Clashes between Radio and TV, particularly in the early days, and as co-executive producer on the Music Simulcasts with Moses I was in the middle of more than a few of them but.... The City-TV Magic was very much "Moses".

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I have many "Moses" stories that prove my point, including the opening celebrations of the CHUM Market Mall in Ottawa. Yes, he created some great tv but he hired his share of buffoons as well.
