mkultra25 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Dave Ward mentioned Ammerman's passing and paid tribute to him on the 10pm newscast earlier this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specwriter Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I remember Dan Ammerman as having a style of presenting the news that was sober and almost stern. Of course, that was a lot closer to the norm during his time on the air. I doubt people who weren't alive then would know what to make of that now although they might find it a refreshing change. I can not imagine Dan Ammerman calling a colleague by his or her nickname or using hand motions (so popular with news anchors today) to emphasize a point.I don't know which I find more annoying, the vertical chop or the two-handed horizontal sweep. It kind of makes one appreciate radio.Anyway, Mr. Ammerman seemed like a true professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
