Robert...

To get that sound you'll need a good condenser mic and a room that has very good acoustics. Being surrounded by proper sound absorbtion materials will help control unwanted audio reflections and help provide that crisp sound you're looking for.

Of course, having talent with that deep, crisp DJ voice is a good starting point! :-)

If you use an EQ filter in either FCP or STP boost the low frequencies a little to give some richness to the voice.

1- use a good studio quality compressor between the mic and your recording device (like your camera). Those radio voices, and much of VO work, is highly compressed. EQ it in post.

The most important factor is the voice and someone who knows how to use it. The rest are just tools, that in the right hands can be made to do many things, hmm I guess that goes for the voice as well. ;-)
