Lucas Welter 26 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Announcer John Young is gradually being replaced by other announcers. Recently, WKOW swapped Young for another announcer. Sister station KWWL is still using his voiceover.

memnews 36 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 WMC replaced John Young a few years ago, if I remember correctly. I think the new announcer still has yet to be identified.

qunewsguy 377 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 John is getting up there and his style of "over the top" voicing is going out of fashion. Unfortunately it's not a huge surprise. I worked with John years ago and he was a great, flexibile VO guy but really not the kind of imaging voice people are looking for now.

The new VO at 5 has been there since (at the very least) last Fall.

Brain 81 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I always thought he did an interesting VO work. Too bad, I also prefer the more traditional VO style.

newsteam13 395 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Personally, I love John Young's V/O work. From his days at TBS, to the two Nashville stations, and every market in between, his voiceover work provides power and gravitas. As much awesomeness and class as the greats: Danny Dark (NBC), Ernie Anderson (ABC) and Don LaFontaine (movie trailers, CBS, UPN, FOX and NBC). So sad that he is being replaced by other voiceover talent.

memnews 36 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 As an update to my above post, I think I may have finally identified the voiceover artist WMC replaced John Young with in 2018. Sounds like Dan Nachtrab to me, but compare for yourselves: https://www.dannachtrab.com/ http://www.southernmedia-nmsa.com/#1,1,WMC I created a separate thread for this back then, but didn't know if bumping it was a good idea.
