Carl Reese

     When Polsky’s Department Store and WHK radio sponsored a teen radio show competition, Carl Reese entered. . .and lost! The producers told him that he sounded like an older man. We don’t know what happened to the winner of that contest, but Carl Reese has been a highly respected member of the industry ever since. For six months in 1948 and 1949, he was a member of the American Forces Network in Frankfort , Germany , where he served primarily as a staff announcer. He returned to this area in 1951 and for the past 37 years has worked in the Akron/Cleveland market at WCUE, WTAM-WNBK, WERE, WJW and WRMR.
