Congrats, Dave! He's now "behind the scenes" as the programming director for the Capitol TV network in Rhode Island. According to Dave, it's similar to C-Span and it's on every cable system in the state. He hosts a weekly show on Mondays at 8 p.m. called "Straight From the Gavel" where he chats with the House Speaker and Senate President. HE even does a segment where he talks with Reps and Senators regarding state politics.

HE'S BACK! (10.25.04)After one year off the air, Dave Barber is back to pissing
off (or entertaining) Flint on WWCK 1570 9a-12n. Dave is a VERY
entertaining and left-leaning talker who's interviewed everyone from
Ron Jeremy to even fellow Flintster Michael Moore, whom he's known
LOOOOOOOOONG before "Roger and Me". He used to be syndicated on the
Michigan Talk Radio Network, so that's how I got to know him. I hope
someday they'll either webcast or syndie his show to GR so everyone
could listen.
In old news...
**EFFECTIVE 11.13.03** The Dave Barber Show is no longer on
the Michigan Talk Radio Network. Dave left the network due to
contractual problems with the company. According to Dave and
other ex-MTRNers, the network's knee-deep in debt and are not
paying their personalities squat. We here at Chuck69.com will
keep you posted on his future projects.
GOOD LUCK DAVE!
**UPDATED 3.30.04** According to Dave, the reason why his
job search has been so slow is due to him taking care of his
ailing father. Sadly, Ray Barber, Dave's father, passed away
on Sunday, March 28th at the age of 80. According to Dave, he
could have been a great talk show host himself.
Our deepest sympathies and condolences are with Dave and
his family.
