TV announcer

Television program host

A TV announcer is someone who speaks on television to introduce programs, deliver promotional messages, or provide voice-over narration between segments.

The role was more prominent in early television when a single voice would guide viewers through an evening's programming: And now, a word from our sponsors.

Today the term often refers to anyone doing voice work for broadcast.
