Roughly 50 years ago, an FM Top 40 station using the Drake-Chenault formula mastered at RKO’s KHJ in Los Angeles made WOR-FM a pioneer of static-free hit music radio in New York. One of its air personalities was a 22-year-old up-and-comer named Mark Driscoll.
Four years later, Driscoll would formally establish himself as a audio promo and voice narration specialist while embarking on a radio programming career that made him, in the words of WPAW-FM “93.1 The Wolf” in Greensboro morning host Dale O’Brian, “one of radio’s great talents.”
Now, Driscoll’s voice has forever been silenced, as the industry veteran has died at the age of 72.
