Baltimore broadcaster · 1942–2016
Talk radio at its best, remembered.
For nearly half a century Tom Marr was a Baltimore institution — the play-by-play voice of the Orioles through two World Series, then the weekday-morning anchor of Talk Radio 680 WCBM. This is an independent tribute to his life on the air.
The career
A Baltimore voice, coast to coast
A Marine, a newsman, a ballpark storyteller and, for three decades, one of talk radio’s most recognizable morning hosts. A few of the milestones:
Orioles play-by-play
Called Baltimore Orioles baseball from 1979 to 1986, including the 1979 and 1983 World Series.
Talk Radio 680 WCBM
The weekday 9 a.m.–Noon voice of WCBM Baltimore, and the station’s lead-in to The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Ranked among the best
A perennial name on Talkers Magazine’s “Heavy Hundred” list of the most influential U.S. talk hosts.
