1. The questioner ask that a particular company be recommended.
Next to no broadcasters do this: many announce that they
will not or cannot. It is safe to assume this broadcaster
follows majority policy, but was willing to say he approved
the proposed refit.

Yes, I was going to answer Don by telling him the same thing.

At least on air, Glen frequently points callers to local companies or
suppliers for services or products.

He provides people with VERY "actionable" information, and detailed
instructions as to how to carry out a task.

2. In a broadcast or web site focussed on house repair
technology, lawsuits about such technology (but with
no connection to this particular broadcaster or web site)
are of marginal interest.

Informing home owners that they might be members of a class-action suite
is or could be a very important piece of the home-handiman puzzle, so
yes, I expect that anyone with knowledge of the home construction and
repair industry and makes his living as being an "interface" between
that industry and the public would mention the PEX-fittings lawsuit
when-ever the subject of PEX was raised, in any venue (on air, on a
web-site, etc) and/or would mention to be aware of the brand or
composition of PEX fittings to be used for new installations.

There are very few products or services that rise to the level of the
installed base and the cost-to-repair in the home products industry as
this PEX-fittings fiasco.
