  • They're Gone a Decade, but Vince Lloyd's, Red Mottlow's Voices Remind of Eternal Friendships
    They’re gone a decade, but Vince Lloyd’s, Red Mottlow’s voices remind of eternal friendships By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Both great men are gone nearly 10 years. But I still consider them my friends, present tense, because I still hear their distinctive voices loud and clear, whether in memories of being on the air, offering wise counsel or only skimming the top of their encyclopedia of stories and ex- periences. I’ve got to keep their memory alive, because gen- erations who never heard them or knew them de- serve the benefit of their output as men and all- time sportscasters. Vince Lloyd and Red Mottlow had great influence on me growing up. As I got to know them closely as their senior-citizen days ap- proached and progressed, my only regret – a big Red Mottlow pounding away at his type- one -- is not getting more decades with them in writer with some of his broadcast corporeal form. awards on the wall behind him. Longtime baseball announcer Lloyd should be a recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award, honoring a great voice of the game. Pioneering radio sports reporter Mottlow should have gotten his shot on the air at WGN. Subtracting these goals doesn’t take a shred away from their lifetime achievements. There was Lloyd’s rich baritone, hardly cracking when he bellowed “Holy Mackeral!” for a Cubs homer, intersecting with Mottlow’s staccato, rapid-fire “Red Mottlow, WCFL Sports” on mid-20th Century 50,000-watt Chicago-originated frequencies. There were kind, encouraging words amid the most political of businesses – sports media -- where negativity and a childish caste system still rule.

  • Lotzer Brought Order to Potential Chaos in Cardwell No-Hitter Telecast
    Lotzer brought order to potential chaos in Cardwell no-hitter telecast By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, May 14, 2013 First of a two-part series about two men, their memories sharp at 86, who both started at WGN-TV in 1954. Behind the scenes, these all-time broadcast pros helped make WGN the pre- eminent local producer of baseball telecasts in the country. Today’s feature looks at Bill Lotzer’s work directing the telecast of the famed Don Cardwell no- hitter at Wrigley Field on May 15, 1960. And Lotzer recalls other experiences, such as the col- orful announcers he directed at WGN and a president who wanted to be Harry Caray’s part- ner in the booth. A director brings order to chaos, whether running an orchestra, movie or 12 other men using ca- bles, cameras, anticipation and improvisation to put a baseball game live and in color on the air. Bill Lotzer brought a rhythm and flow that was preserved for all time in the telecast of Cubs pitch- er Don Cardwell’s no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals. His split-second decision-making can be observed on the oldest sports videotape (as opposed to a kinescope, a film of a telecast) known to exist. Lotzer never went the Hollywood route like former WGN colleague Bill Friedkin. Chicago sports events and WGN studio produc- Colleen and Bill Lotzer enjoy a quiet retirement next to a pictur- tions were good enough him.
