Radio Career/other Media
Norris is currently the cohost of the Norris and Davis Show on WJZ-FM (105.7 The Fan) in Baltimore, Maryland. The show broadcasts from 5:30 AM to 10:00 AM Eastern Time. The show focuses mainly on Baltimore and national sports, but occasionally it touches on other issues such as crime and Maryland politics.
Norris also had a recurring minor role on HBO's The Wire, appearing in various episodes throughout the show's five season run as a homicide detective of the same name. His appearances are a source of irony on the show, and he is often given dialogue bemoaning the state of the police department. In addition, Norris faced a long prison sentence for an allegation of mortgage fraud, a charge also used against Sen. Clay Davis in the series.

Famous quotes containing the words radio, career and/or media:
“... the ... radio station played a Chopin polonaise. On all the following days news bulletins were prefaced by Chopin—preludes, etudes, waltzes, mazurkas. The war became for me a victory, known in advance, Chopin over Hitler.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
