Jane Barbe Linky
Jane Barbe has one of the most recognizable voices in the world. Speaking to over 20 million people a day, she is known as the voice of ETC's Audichron time, temperature, weather announcers and intercept systems.
Jane started making professional announcements for the Audichron Company in Atlanta, Georgia (acquired by ETC in 1989) in the mid 1960s. Her friendly voice announced the time, temperature and weather, as well as personalized announcements for financial institutions, telephone companies and other time-temperature-weather sponsors. For the 1970s and 1980s recordings of Jane informed telephone callers when a certain number was disconnected or no longer in service. In addition, Jane's voice is heard on the National Bureau of Standard's Time Signal and on many hotel wake-up systems.
