Broadcasting legend David Elcock who ruled the morning airwaves on NBS Radio 610 AM Radio in the 1980s has died.

Elcock was dubbed Dean of Broadcasters for his rich versatility and dominance of the early morning airwaves.

He died in the US where he resided in New York City this morning.

Elcock would introduced himself in ways that were meant to lift moods, often with lines such as, "I'm the morning man with the morning plan, the rooster with the booster, the bird with the early word if you know what I mean."

His deep tone and joyful mood was unmatched of the country's two main radio stations - NBS Radio 610 and Radio Trinidad 7.30 AM - and he served as an inspiration to many who made radio broadcasting their career.

RIP Dave

In reply to imusic
I listened to him every single week day morning
Great voice and fun guy.
I didn't realized he was living in US since the 90s.

Do you remember another great radio personality of that era Selma Ahye?
