A question that popped into my mind while traveling today:  Who were the principal booth announcers for Channels 4, 5 and 7 during the '50s and '60s?  I'm thinking that Dick Tucker and Art Amadon did announcing for Channel 4 and that Frank Avruch did some for 5 (though I may be altogether wrong on all counts --- I was a kid back then).  I have no idea who did Channel 7, though I remember the voice.

Then there was the distinctive Brahmin twang of William Pearce on Channel 2, who was actually from Maine.
