Answer 1

The rather long link below will take you to an online document that lists the entire history of Cubs broadcasting.

Here is an expert from that document covering the 1950's
" Bert Wilson worked alone on WJJD through 1949, doing all nine innings of all 154 games, home and road,though even after the war, the radio team was still re-creating some road games and didn't end that practice until the early fifties. Talk about a heavy schedule! In 1950, Bud Campbell was hired as Wilson's sidekick. Meanwhile, the Cubs, following World War II, sank into a 20-year pit of misery. From 1946 through 1966, they finished above .500 only twice. Wilson saw far more losses than wins during his years behind the mike at Wrigley Field. And the constant travel took a toll on the big man. He had to miss two weeks of action in 1952 due to high blood pressure,and Wilson announced in September 1955 that he would resign from WJJD at the end of the season. He had planned to take on a lighter schedule for 1956, telecasting 53 Cincinnati Reds games. Wilson, however, had suffered from heart trouble for quite a while, and died on November 5, 1955, in Mesa, Arizona.
The new Cubs voice was Jack Quinlan,who had come on board in 1953 as a third man. Quinlan was friendly and talkative, and worked well with other soon-to-be-famous voices like Gene Elston (with the Cubs from 1954-57) and Milo Hamilton (1956-57). "

Answer 2

I do have a correction to make, just a couple, in 1980 Harry Caray was still in the White Sox booth, in the 1981 offseason, he joine the Chicago Cubs, and he wasn't the broadcaster for the Chicago Cubs in 2000, he died on Febuary 18th, 1998, and Chip Caray who joine the Chicago Cubs broadast booth during the 1997-1998 to join Harry Caray, to become the first grandfather-grandson team in the booth. But sadly, that never happened, and he replace Harry Carray in the booth. Who knows what it might have turned out to be, if Chip didn't join the Cubs broadcasting team, or even if Len Kasper would have even bene thier play-by-play man today. Sorry I just can't seem to find who didd in the 1950's, a person that you missed who also did Chicago Cubs games was Milo Hamption. And you will be wrong on how long Jack Brickhouse went, because Harry was hired to replace him, next time if you are too sure of you years, of when to when, please don't make a best guess, when it doubt look it up, or ask here.

Answer 3

Cubs Radio Announcers

Answer 4

Actually, WGN-Radio chose Jack Quinlan over
Milo Hamilton to become the full-time Cubs'
radio announcer in 1956.
Many consider Quinlan the greatest baseball
broadcaster who ever lived. His career was
cut short, however, when he died in a tragic
car accident during spring training '65.
He was only 38 at the time.
Two audio books with rare recordings of
his work are available at: www.forgottengreatness.com.
An ongoing effort is being made to get him elected to
the Baseball Broadcasters' Hall of Fame.

Answer 5

I believe it was Jack Brickhouse.
