Ptarmigan Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I wonder who was the announcer for KTXH-TV back in the 1980s and early 1990s? I sometimes hear his voice even today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes hear his voice even today. That would be Randy Schell. For the others, the announcer on the first clip is Val Davis, who was one of KTRK's voices into the early 90's. His voice is also heard in the second clip teasing the Million Dollar Movie. For that second clip (the CC tag and news intro); I t was definitely Bill Young. The voice announcing the Marathon coverage is that of Ed O'Brien, who is now the primary VO talent on KTRK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valpd Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi, I am Val Davis. I was actually at KTRK-TV From 1986 to 1990. I replaced Charlie Harrison when he retired. Pretty fun to hear these and thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Here's one video from the Nov. 5, 1989 newscast for KTRK 13 with Alan Hemberger (who replaced Rosenfeld in the summer of that year) and Debi Johnson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmVwn7K6eGQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrage Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 That voice of KTXH from the 80s is also the house voice over for Cox Radio Houston. Interestingly he did VOs for 106.9 KKZR in the mid 90s and was back doing it again not long after 106-9 The Point launched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That intro which was once referred to by Ken Hoffman as the "parade of talent" didn't last too long. I think Frank Billingsley ended up doing the Earth 13 segments when Diaz left.

Blue Dogs Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 HBCU, check out this video from Fox 26 on November 6, 1988: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltPttRVoeq0 They unveiled this studio set with the downtown skyline back in 1986 (same year that KTRK 13 did with theirs).

valpd Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My name is Val Davis. I was the "Booth Announcer" for KTRK TV from June 1986 to Dec 1990. I am the voice in the first clip and I am the first voice in the second clip. Thanks for posting these. Val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think that set debuted pre-1986, prior to Metromedia's sale to News Corporation. Was one of the better looking ones out there, and I have seen versions of it in other places, though the lighting and choices for the prints in the background make it a personal favorite from the period, for me. I actually contributed that clip into the trading community. I've seen some of the Metromedia-era news briefs that are out there on the video-sharing sites, but am always looking for more. Something about a station using Billy Ocean's "Loverboy" for their news music is just weirdly fascinating to me. FWIW, The only stuff I have before that period is from 1987 and 1985, both from their afternoon kids block.

Blue Dogs Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 ChannelTwoNews, So KRIV-TV Fox 26 had that set for 11 years correct ? I'm also assuming theirs wasn't a virtual set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
