WJR's Bob Reynolds:
Basketball: The Pistons
Improving the breed": Detroit Race Course
What happens if you take a great, active city . . . add a powerful mike reaching into five states and a fine section of Canada . . . then stir up with a radio Sports Director who touches every base and scores in every field? The answer isn't guesswork! It's an exciting fact in Detroit — where WJR offers what well may be the nation's most complete sports coverage by a local station. You see Bob Reynolds in action, above, but he and his team of experts range even farther afield . . . pro baseball (the Tigers, natch), college football, trout-fishing, trotting, boating, boxing, bowling— and Bob's present personal hobbies: golf and winter sports.
Among his many awards, there's one from Michigan's high-school coaches for his encouragement of teenage athletics. No wonder everyone's listening to his "Bob Reynolds Sports Show" (6:15 nightly, except Sunday) and "Sports Final" (11:15 — including Sunday) ! . . . Bob himself says his most unusual job was covering an ostrich race. However, his preparation for his life work was along more "classic" lines — par for the course (except for one rather wild birdie) : Robert F. Reynolds was born in Greenfield, Mass., began sportscasting on hometown Station WHAI. A star athlete in school, he attended Massachusetts State College and played
semi-pro and pro basketball for thirteen years. He was a sports writer for the Springfield Union . . . but also a vocalist with New England dance bands — a seemingly off-beat experience which has no doubt helped his career, not only at the mike, but as one of today's most popular after-dinner speakers. . . . Still on the suntanned side of sixty, WJR's Sports Director beams proudly as he says: "We have eight grandchildren." His three daughters are married . . . and — just in case you might think there won't always be a Reynolds broadcasting "all sports to all sorts" — his son Warren is already radio news and sports editor, WHLS, Port Huron!
