G/T announcers

cmjb13:
What determined the show they did?

Was it just their particular announce style that worked on a specific show?

davemackey:
Back in the 80's, you had packagers taping shows nearly every day and the available announcing talent could be spread quite thin. So I think a lot of it was \"who is available\", particularly after Johnny O died. There is no question that Johnny O was the \"go-to\" guy in the 70's and early 80's, but he couldn't be everywhere at once. Gene Wood took up a lot of the slack.
