 Robert Trout Summary
Trout was hand-picked for this role as war clouds gathered over Europe in 1938, and gradually—broadcast after broadcast, day after day, crisis after crisis—he turned what had been a simple announcer's chore into a star role, creating the "broadcast news" institution that continues to this day.

 Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Robert Trout   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Pioneer of broadcast journalism Robert Trout, who in his 70 year career covered the final concert of bandmaster John Philip Sousa and the first man on the moon, died on November 14th, 2000 in New York at the age of 91.
Trout quickly graduated to on-air reporter when the station's usual news reader failed to report to work and he was thrust before the microphone.
Trout once divulged that as a self-taught and unschooled broadcaster, he had developed his trademark personal style of reporting by thinking of the microphone as a telephone, and when he gave his reports he felt he was speaking to someone he knew who was waiting, attentively, on the other end.

 Robert Trout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was Bob Trout in the mid-1930s who passed on to a then-new CBS executive, Edward R. Murrow, the value of addressing the radio audience intimately, as if the announcer was talking to one person.
Trout anchored the network's live coverage of D-Day and was behind the microphone when the bulletins announcing the end of World War II in Europe, and later Japan, came across.
In one of Trout's NPR reminiscences, airing July 9, 1999, he admitted that an oft-played recording of his announcing the end of World War II ("my greatest hit, as it were") on August 14, 1945 was actually a fake.
