John Crosse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Crosse was an announcer for Yorkshire Television from 1972 until November 1998. He was noted for his authoritative Received Pronunciation accent, shared by a number of his colleagues at YTV, such as Redvers Kyle; the company's presentation was much more similar to BBC Television (out-of-vision announcers with RP accents) than that of other ITV companies at the same time, which tended to use friendlier in-vision announcers.
