I think Leslie Roberts did make a mistake and he has paid for it. I also believe that Global over reacted in firing Roberts and in effect black balling him for future employment in the media business. Truth is the Global has made and continues to make strategic errors on programming and on air personnel that have dogged them in the past few years. Their morning show is a true waste of time and energy and they should look over at Breakfast Television for inspiration. Roberts was a cool and professional news person and one look at any of Global shows now proves that they need him. Give the guy a second chance. He is not a bad person and he certainly can help the Global Shaw network.

You lost the best news caster in the business. Does global think they are that great they do without this man , they are wrong. Too many viewers are watching news else where. Shame on global. Best of luck too Leslie and hope to see him soon on news somewhere.

I do miss Leslie Roberts, I have send message to Global TV everyone is given another chance in life, put him on probation and start out at global TV. no one is perfect in life.
he made a mistake, not really sure of his mistake conflict of interest. not to interfere with Global TV. or have some sort of business entity.

Has global. tv lost business all of this? A great guy Leslie, should start all over again.
please have him back at Global.

I not only miss Leslie on The Morning Show, I still miss Rosy Edeh, Chris Rheys and Antony Robart. I rarely watch the show now although Carolyn and Jeff are good newscasters/hosts.

Was shocked to hear Leslie was not on global anymore. It was bad enough he left the 11 o’clock hour that we looked forward to watching every night with Carol McKenzie but now to hear he was gone completely from global was so very sad. Just can’t see what he did justifies his dismissal / resignation ( every things so damn politically correct) . Good luck Leslie hope to see u again on another news network or maybe even your own talk show!!

I REALLY REALLY MISS Leslie. He was the only reason I watched Global News. I’m very disappointed in Global’s shortcomings. They act as if they are so CLEAN, and yet, I wouldn’t be surprised of all the dust bunnies under their welcome mat at the front door. If you would think with your brains, and understand your public viewers, you would have reprimanded him and moved on. NO you have to let him go. Wasteful. I guess he will end up on NBC,CBS, ABC, FOX, MSNBC, or better yet, somewhere in CANADA that appreciates his worldly talents and soft spoken approach to delivering the news, no matter how hard some of the stories are to relate. I think you owe the viewers an apology at the very least. It would be nice. but not possible, due to your holier than thou network attidude.

This happens many times in the media, especially with Native Advertising, look it up. The problem was Leslie was potentially profiting, not the producers. He should have known better though, but does not deserve banishment.

As I sit here watching Global news @ 5:30, I can’t help but think of Leslie Roberts, I truly miss his smile and his style of bringing the news into our homes. I was so shocked to hear of his business conflict of interest that resulted in his resignation. I don’t totally understand, the whole deal nevertheless, did Leslie really have to resign I would have thought a suspension without pay would be just as effective, “Just Saying” Miss you Leslie good luck!
