I am saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Kearns. I first new of him as Christopher John and worked with him for some time at 2UE in the seventies. He was incredibly versatile as both a sport and music presenter and his knowledge of both was remarkable. I last worked with him briefly quite a few years ago at 2CH. He was totally professional, had a lovely dry sense of humour, was totally reliable and just an all round nice bloke. Chris was one of the best and will be missed by many.
Chris also was the booth announcer at ATN Channel 7 in the early 1980s. Here is a snippet of Mr Kearns' voice when ATN 7 closed transmission in 1983. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30rxMDId0rc&t=161s (URL starts 161 seconds into the video) . Voice quality was consistent over the years that I have heard Mr Kearns over the years till his last position taking over from Mr Bob Rogers.
Thank you,
Anthony of Belfield
