| Brad Edwards, In Our Corner |
OKLAHOMA CITY (OP) – A metropolitan-area lawmaker has authored legislation to get KFOR newscaster Brad Edwards out of our corner, where he has been for over 10 years.
Sen. Cliff Branan, R-Oklahoma City, said it was time for Edwards to move on.
“People are coming come from work, flipping on the lights, and Brad is just standing there, It’s creepy.”
said Branan.
KFOR producer David Bennent defended Edwards’ history of being in our corner. “Brad Edwards has always defended the people of Oklahoma, everything from poor hygiene at fast food restaurants or home remodeling gone wrong,” said Bennent.
“He needs to be in your corner to do that, and he promises he won’t disturb your ficus plant.” Branan said he acknowledges Edwards’ work on behalf of Oklahoma consumers. However, he questioned why the newscaster felt compelled to stand in the corner.
“People have reported him rocking back and forth, mumbling that he’s been a very naughty boy,”
said Branan. “What’s up with that?” Under Branan’s legislation, Edwards would be forced out of our corner. He would be to stand along our wall, or within our closet.
