Robert Thompson, trustee professor of radio, television and film ad director of the Bleier Center for Television and Pop Culture in the Newhouse School, was interviewed by CBS Radio for the story, “NYC Native Regis Philbin Remembered As ‘One Of The Last Of The True Broadcasters’.” Thompson says that the late Regis Philbin was “one of the last of the true what we used to call broadcasters.” One of the reasons for Regis Philbin’s many years of success in the entertainment industry can be attributed to Philbin skill “to recast himself over the over the decades to stay relevant,” says Thompson.
