Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a television and radio personality. This reads very much like a cut-paste job from his staff profile on an employer's website rather than an encyclopedia article, and it's referenced entirely to a single primary source rather than any reliable source coverage about him in media. Being a radio or television broadcaster, even on a nationally-aired show, is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to be reliably sourced -- it's the depth of media coverage that can be provided about him that determines whether he gets a Wikipedia article or not, not the unsourced claim of significance.
