When one potential customer in Youngstown, Ohio, turned out to be the wife of the manager of radio station WKBN, that led to an audition.[2] RadioBerch's first job on radio was at WKBN. He had dual roles as a singer and an announcer, "introducing himself in one voice and singing in another. Then he would thank himself for the performance."[7] He also worked at WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio; WTAM in Cleveland, Ohio;[1] and WOAI in San Antonio, Texas.[8] Berch was the star of The Jack Berch Show, a variety/talk program that was broadcast on ABC, CBS, Mutual, and NBC at various times 1935-1954.[3] His programs at times went by other names, including The Kitchen Pirate (1935–36) and The Sweetheart Serenader (1939-1941).[2] A comment published in the trade publication Radio Daily said, "The singing of Berch is particularly well designed to give the day a sunny sendoff."[9] At times, he also wrote scripts and worked as an announcer and producer on other people's programs.[1] RecordingIn 1950, Berch signed a contract with RCA Victor to make recordings in both children's and popular music genres.[10] Personal lifeBerch was married to the former Margo Orwig.[11] They had a son, Jon, and daughters Carol, Shirley,[12] and Mollie.[13] DeathBerch died December 10, 1992, in Jamaica, New York.[2] Partial discography
