Salty Brine

Walter Leslie Brine (August 8, 1918 – November 2, 2004), invariably known as "Salty Brine", was a well-known broadcaster in Rhode Island.

At age 10, he lost one of his legs, attempting to jump onto a freight train near his home in Arlington, Massachusetts. In later life, he would visit hospitals to encourage other children who had lost limbs.

Salty's first jobs were in his native state of Massachusetts with WNAC: Boston, WESX: Salem, & WCOP: Boston.

In September 1942, Salty joined WPRO. He hosted the morning show (originally called the "T.N.T. Review") from 1943 until April 28, 1993.

From 1955 to 1968, he hosted "Salty Brine's Shack" on WPRO-TV/WPRI-TV, a live evening children's program. Its closing words, "Brush your teeth and say your prayers," remained his signature line through the rest of his life.
