Bill Marlowe, his wife and
daughter are providing new and delightful
sounds for WCOP listeners
Early this summer, Station WCOP started sending out a new radio sound to its audiences. They called it the 1150 sound (which is the station's frequency), but there was much more to it than that. The "much more" was personable Bill Marlowe and his two lovely cohorts, wife Sonia and daughter Lisa, and the results of their talented efforts have been slightly phenomenal. Now WCOP listeners have the double opportunity to hear the Marlowes each evening on Rendezvous With You, from 7 to 8, and Dial 1150, from 8 to 10 P.M.
The key to his success, says Bill, has always been hard work, plus a little courage. There's also the matter of talent and experience, of which Bill has plenty. Starting when he was ten, Bill has been at various times an actor, TV and radio coach, announcer, writer, newscaster, emcee, advertising writer and professional model. After serving in the Air Force, then graduating from Emerson College, Bill divided his time between Boston and New York. It was during one of his Boston sojourns that he met Sonia, but it took them a year to get to the altar and finally settle down in Bean Town.
Today, Bill and Sonia are as happy as two bugs in a rug, especially since little Lisa and four-month-old Linda joined them. Says Bill, "Judging from Linda's cry for milk, I'm predicting there's going to be another femme announcer in the family." Meanwhile the Marlowes are enjoying life in Boston and are looking forward to bigger and better days at ever-expanding WCOP. At home, Sonia is working very diligently, bringing up the children, while Bill takes in some baseball or football or listens to records — for work and pleasure. Also, says Bill, "I like a good book, a mild cigarette, and an occasional day at the races."
But, no matter what the Marlowes choose to like, there's no doubt that everyone in Boston has elected them their favorite radio family.
