Louis Roen, Your Annoncer on "Today's Children"
("Today's Children" Family Album)
Curator's
note: Louis Roen was one of the longer-lived staff announcers at NBC-Chicago.
In the early days of video at the Merchandise Mart, news
director Bill Ray tapped him to become one of channel 5's first on-air news
readers (where he became a member of the team that included Hugh Downs and Clifton
Utley). |
'Today's Children' has come to you as a presentation of the Pillsbury Flour Company."
When you hear the deep, pleasant voice of Mr. Roen giving you this statement at
the conclusion of each "Today's Children" program, do you realize all
that these words imply?

to thank each and every one of you---not only for your interest in Mother Moran
