Yep, that’s Cort. I knew him from WEWS-FM, before WEWS-TV was “born.” Our radio workshop of the Cleveland College (downtown) of Western Reserve Univ. did a half hour weekly drama show “Cleveland College Presents.” Cort was the station announcer and I was always the show’s announcer/narrator.
ADDENDUM: Cort’s voice, I thought, was the epitome of a most pleasurable radio voice, low pitched with resounding resonances, a golden, God given voice. I didn’t aspire to have the same voice, only similar.
I worked two summers at WEWS as a vacation relief booth announcer.(1966-67) and I can verify that the man in the picture is indeed Court (short for Courtland) Stanton. He worked at the station from 1948 to 1973.

After taking a good look at this picture, I had come to think it might be him. I remember he had curly light brown hair?
