Bill Bellman

I think it has been almost 35 years since I've heard his voice, but I assume that that is Bill Bellman voicing those IDs. I'm sure that Bill Phillips was doing them by the time I arrived at CHQM in June 1971.

Also really glad to hear the QM FM ID referring to "Verta-Power" -- the station's way of explaining Vertical Polarization, as opposed to the then-traditional Horizontal Polarization used for FM transmission.

I never kept copies of CFPR IDs patterned after these, but meant to highlight the LPRTs (repeaters) -- a first in CBC history, I'm told by my then Station Manager. They were great, as I had now famous Voice and TV Actor Cam(pbell) Lane voice them all.

But, I do have the set I did in Yellowknife. My favourite is this one http://www.cfyk.com/lprt/880.wma which I've lately been referring to by saying (to CHQT employees) that "You worked for Cool 8-80? That's nothing. I worked for Cold 8-80".

The rest of the set, with descriptions, is at http://www.cfyk.com/lprt/

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I too think it is Bill Bellman - the voice is rich and deep exactly the sound
of Quality Music.

Wasserman was on strike at the Sun in 1970 and his bio refers to
work at 'OR and 'NW before getting back to the typewriter at Pacific Press
prior to his death in 1977.

Yes, I heard Jack on the air at the time. I just don't remember his voice anymore though.

Re: Wasserman

Thank you for that, TD. At the risk of sounding like Cary Grant when he watched Tony Curtis imitating his voice on "Some Like It Hot", I don't hear the resemblance. But, at least it wasn't Elmer Fudd that I brought to mind.

Or maybe it was, and you were too polite to mention it.
