Charlie O'Donnell... newsman. O'Donnell is the longtime voice of "Wheel of Fortune" and a popular game show announcer; he also served as a KCOP staff announcer. During the 1980s, he doubled as one of the main anchors for KCOP's weeknight newscast.

While it's common for UK news presenters to double as presenters for light entertainment, it isn't as common in the US. Thus his presence seems somewhat jarring.

    Imagine this for a dream newscast:

    "This is the Six O'Clock News Hour with Charlie O' Donnell and Johnny Olson, plus Gene Wood with weather, and Johnny Gilbert with sports!"

    It would've burned up the L.A. news ratings!

    Charlie O'Donnell what an amazing voice. He was my favorite announcer of all time next to Rod Roddy. Wheel hasn't been the same without Charlie. Even though Jim Thornton is really good, Charlie will forever be the best with Rod Roddy.

    Notice the local footage is still on film while the national stuff is on videotape.

    Just learned today of his death. Hearing him announce the news takes me back to my childhood.

    RIP

    Your mellow voice will be greatly missed Charlie. Say hello to the rest of the announcing greats up there!
