Ernest Chappell

Ernest E. Chappell (1903 - July 4, 1983) was an American radio announcer and actor, best remembered for his featured role in the late 1940s radio program "Quiet Please". The show ran from 1947 to 1949, and "Quiet Please" was Chappell's major acting credit. His signature line was: "And so, until next week at this same time, I am quietly yours, Ernest Chappell."

On February 10, 1925, Chappell was the announcer, as well as the director of the first radio station in Syracuse, New York, WFBL (which stood for First Broadcast License). On Monday, November 9, 1925, Chappell began writing for the "Syracuse Herald". His column, "Riding the Waves With Chap," included promotion for the broadcasting industry and the local station.

For several years on each program, Chappell also served as the announcer for the "Campbell Playhouse" (the successor to the "Mercury Theatre") and for a radio program based on the Ellery Queen stories.
