OBIT: George Ansbro (NBC & ABC Staff Announcer), 96

W

And yet another longtime network staff announcer's voice has been permanently stilled: George Ansbro, who started at NBC in the early 1930's, worked at both the Red and Blue networks (gravitating more towards the latter over time, which morphed into ABC) and remained an omnipresent voice on both radio and TV through his 1990 retirement, died today in Bloomfield, CT at age 96. Up to the end of the NBC radio soap opera Young Widder Brown in 1956, Ansbro was one of the few to have been employed by two networks simultaneously as an announcer. More on his death and his long career, along with reminiscences from former colleagues at ABC, can be found on this link.
