One week suspension was not enough!
Typical defensive father that can’t control his kids.
The children should not be allowed at the studio. Members of Bill’s staff have regularly complained about the girl’s behavior and yet he continues to bring them in and even puts them on air - cute but get over it. If they were polite and well behaved children there would be fewer if any complaints. He is bostful of their misbehaving - either that or he has no idea of how well behaved children should act in with adults. Being respectful………
This guy is a jerk. Even though he was suspended, it isnt enough. Bye Bye Bill, I will never listen to anything you produce. Spoiled kids is right!
dang, talk about an ego… shame, shame on him.
