Veteran broadcaster Maurice Norville passed away this morning.
The 73-year-old was for many decades, one of the signature voices on local radio.
“Maurice was more than a voice on our airwaves. He is one that has made a tremendous contribution and was a part of the very fabric of Barbadian radio. From his early days at Barbados Radio Fusion to his decades of service with Voice of Barbados, Maurice is one that has shaped the standard tone and tradition of broadcasting in this country for over 50 years,” said Starcom Network’s General Manager Anthony Greene.
“His impeccable diction, calm delivery and respect for the craft earned him admiration across generations. In fact, up to a couple years ago, Maurice was involved in passing on some of these attributes of which he was a great example and he did so through training with a programme that we implemented here at Starcom Network with our on-air and news teams.”
Norville, who was also an insurance agent at Sagicor, is survived by his wife and three children. (Nation News)
