I believe Jeff Berlin is doing ID's and whatnot for Kiss108 these days - 
his voice can be heard nationwide, too, I caught it in Seattle once - and 
he can make himself sound pretty similar to Ernie, although if you listen 
close you can tell it's Jeff.  You can hear Jeff on a bunch of old WZBC 
ID's and whatnot as he used to do all their production before he started 
being nationwide and didn't have the time anymore.

I owe Jeff a lot of credit for teaching me how to do commercial production 
work when I was an intern at Kiss in 1996 and he was Production Director (I 
don't know if he's still Prod. Dir. there or whether he's been promoted)
