Good for Mr. Matin.

I honestly hope he isn't guilty on the domestic abuse charge. If guilty, I hope he pays the penalty.

Either way, his on-air potty-mouthed show has funded a number of good projects in this town.

I wasn't a fan, but I hope that even Russ Martin gets a chance at redemption. We all need it.

"in tact" or "intact"?

It's a massive PR stunt to show he has heart! No, not really. When I heard the news about Officer Smith I wondered if Russ would still give out money to the family. Good on him.

Now find him and BDH a home on Dallas airwaves!

I'm glad to see Russ continue to give to families in their time of need.

I say he'll be back on the air in 6 months or less.

He shall return soon!

Of course the Listeners Foundation is up and running. Mr. Martin can't go in just willy-nilly and say "I'm not on the air anymore so there is no more foundation" and "Hey, here's a lot of money. I wonder what to do with it?".

There are laws that cover how foundations start, are run and are finally shut down. The "guy" doesn't deserve any credit. He's following the law! You really think Russ Martin keeps track of each and every donation, fills out Forms A-Z in triplicate for the government and the IRS, and then audits each dollar as it's spent?? Of course not!!!

So, yeah, it stays intact unless the money runs dry or Mr. Martin, who likely is Chairman of the foundation, and it's governing board decides to ask the attorneys to start disbanding it.

Mr. Whitt, your comments lauding Mr. Martin are just as misguided as Mr. Bark's in giving him credit for WFAA's ratings. Did either of you gentlemen ever stop to think that the interview with Patrick Swayze might have brought the viewers in along with interest in the DPD shooting?

never give credit to the most worthless piece of crap that has ever been on dallas radio
