Hollywood hosts shape TV's lively introductions
AP TV Radio writer Cynthia Lowry notes that hosting has fragmented into categories. Dick Powell describes the need to fill 45 seconds with watchable content while guiding shows through ad breaks. Alfred Hitchcock Boris Karloff and Richard Boone are cited as masters of mood and introduction. Karloff travels between London and Hollywood to record openings while preparing a dozen introductions for Thriller and Playhouse 9 reruns.
