Had a squizz on Proquest too:

• Hawkins, Barry (1997-04-02), "Gentle Yeo faces bully of hard-nosed news", The Evening Post, p. 7, retrieved 2024-11-04 – via Proquest
• Dekker, Diana (1998-05-23), "Out, but not down", The Evening Post, p. 9, retrieved 2024-11-04 – via Proquest

The full text of these can be accessed on Proquest via the Wikipedia Library. There are other database entries but they are mostly letters to the editor showing support.

I think there is scope to really expand this biography. It looks like there was significant controversy when Yeo's show on 2ZB was replaced by Paul Holmes, with the general consensus in media seeming to be this was a ratings-driven decision by a close-to-death radio channel. Most seem to think Yeo's show was more pleasant to listen to (and probably with good reason). David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 20:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
