I remember watching some of the episodes at school while I was working as a summer janitor.

I was barely a year old...may have caught a glimpse while playing w/the TV tuner dial some evening, LOL.

I remember seeing some of Thom's shows in first run, as well as reading some of the many newspaper articles about him. He was originally from Rochester so both WHEC and the now-defunct Times-Union newspaper played it up.

OK. This is all good to know. Thanks to all of you who answered the question I asked in the original post. I had no idea there were so many announcers.

The encyclopedia does not list Johnny Gilbert or Bob Hilton as ever working on Wink's TTD. They do mention Charlie O and Mike Darow.

The encylopedia is then mistaken. Bob announced on TTD quite a bit. In fact, I have two such shows on tape. Interesting that the fabled tome doesn't list the name of someone who VO'd for at least a month while it does mention Mike Darrow, who was on for but a week. Or Darow, whatever it is. He seemed to like to switch spellings like Jim Mc/MacKrell.

Johnny G. did at least a couple weeks of fill-ins, in 1983 and 1984 IIRC.

He did indeed, as well as the first few aired weeks back in 1978...Art James announced the first few wks of the 80-81 season (along w/TJW), while Hilton's stint took place earlier in 1980, as I recall, before Thom McKee's reign began near the tail end of the 79-80 season.
