The Helping Hands spots, at least on the Greater Media Stations, use GM 
talent.  Loren & Wally do the spots in the morning on WROR, sometimes 
even live.  Barnicle & crew also do some spots on his show on WTKK, and 
I believe that Jay Severin also does a spot for them.

My guess is that there is some kind of deal  along the lines of the 
Giant Glass spots where the spots on each station have the choice of 
using "generic" talent or using station talent to do the spots for that 
station.
