AJClementeFan69 477 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Wondering if anyone knows who this VO from WTEN is/was. Also heard in (then sister station) WTVO's opens of the early 90s. I feel like I've heard the voice on other stations but I can't quite put a finger on who it might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bixpchiphead 105 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Looking for the name of the Milwaukee vo talent, worked at WISN-TV for many years, then when 'ISN let him go (for Roger Thompson I believe) 'TMJ-TV picked him up for a short time.... An example of his work from the Classic Video Thread (H/T to Raymie) WISN in November 1984: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An example of his work from the Classic Video Thread (H/T to Raymie) This is a wildly uneducated guess, but that voice sounded to me like Al Ross, a Wisconsin Public Radio host currently based out of Eau Claire. Looking at his bio, he was based in Milwaukee at the time of that intro. If you listen to WHID [the local WPR Ideas Net affiliate], [i believe] you'll hear his voice on the station IDs once in a while... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathawaynson2 38 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I had a funny feeling that Al Ross did a voiceover for WIBW-TV during the beginning of 2000 to 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2881 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Who's this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGQ9RgKoE9Q That's what I'd like to know. NMSA listed one open with him as "John Moore" but it was a red herring for another John Moore. Other clients: KAUZ, KETK, KEVN, KFVS, KLAS, KWWL, WABG. He did KFVS for a long time, around 25 years.

ChesapeakeTV 310 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 NMSA also has him doing KEVN with Overture as Ron Moore, which is equally incorrect. KWWL would be another longer-term client...he did them for at least 10 years. Really, given the volume of work he's done, it's amazing nothing has ever turned up on him, even so much as a name.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Does anyone know who did WTVH's voiceovers during the Total News/KHNL Theme era? I'm not sure if it's two different guys or the same. The Total News opens in particular sound a little like Larry Van Nuys, but not quite deep enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnya2k6 171 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 What about this one (I'm certain he does some local stations on the side, and since he's probably Atlanta-based, would be perfect for WSB (replacing Scott Chapin)): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Info Junkie 1286 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Who's this guy? I do think he was a client of Gillett Broadcasting circa the 1980s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Info Junkie 1286 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Bumping this thread again to identify this guy: This guy (who was KLAS’s VO briefly in 2003) also has been heard on plenty of movie and VHS promos in the 1990s, and was the voice of the Arsenio Hall Show. The NMSA currently lists him as unidentified. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear him in this VHS open compilation, at 1:51 (plenty more can be found on YouTube), unless it’s someone else. Also yes, I now see the difference between this guy and Burton Richardson, the latter sounds a bit lower-pitched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2881 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hope you like VO IDs from Spokane, because this 1988 piece has a bunch of them. The names given are Tom Parill - KHQ (looks like he was very quickly replaced after '88; also a station employee) Rod Clefton - KXLY (promos only? Richard Clear is also mentioned as a station voice) Glenn Johnson - KREM Of the three, Glenn Johnson is the most notable. He also did VOs for the Retlaw -> Fisher -> Sinclair CBS affiliates in Washington (KIMA, KEPR and KLEW). But that's not even his most famous VO credit. No, this professor ended up becoming the Mayor of Pullman, Washington...and the PA announcer of WSU athletics! The VO might also be Bob Phillips, who's also mentioned for KREM (it's not , who actually runs the channel that video's on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
