RIP Gary Owens
- Thread starter Phantom
- Start date
Two of the many animated characters voiced by Gary Owens. Another one that legitimately made me sad.
From the "Did You Know?" files...
Long time 700 WLW radio personality Gary Burbank (born Billy Purser) got his on-air name because he was a huge fan of Gary Owens. Gary Owens would announce, "This is Gary Owens broadcasting from beautiful downtown Burbank". Gary and Burbank were lifted from that. Gary Burbank would later become a bit of a radio legend in the areas that received that AM station.
