BOORTZ CALLS IT QUITS IN AGGIELAND<\/span><\/b> On inauguration day 2013, longtime radio personality and Aggie alum Neil Boortz retires.

Boortz beloved chair jazzed up with the Texas A&M logo goes on the auction block to raise money for Atlanta\u2019s Children\u2019s Cancer & Blood Disorders Center.

AUSTRALIAN RADIO PRANK GOES PLANK<\/span><\/b> Two Australian radio DJs are the talk of the world when their prank goes awry. Mel Greig and Michael Christian of 2DayFM pranked the hospital where pregnant Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton stays. They fool the nurse who answers the phone but because of world wide embarrassment she takes her own life. How tragic. Radio Ink’s Brian Glicklich reports: Broadcast attorney David Oxenford…advice for those…thinking that was a good idea…even before the unexpected terrible outcome was known, it was very clear that this broadcast was not the type of gag that US broadcasters should imitate<\/i>. Greig and Christian beg forgiveness on Australian TV’s A Current Affair<\/i> and Today Tonight<\/i>. What do you think about this radio prank that ends in death? <\/span><\/p>\n

DAVE <\/span><\/b>MICHAELS (Dayton-Huber Heights, OH<\/span>) <\/span><\/b>Subject: “Rocky’s Christmas Tree”. In the 70’s & 80’s WSAI 1360 Radio had a Security Guard at the front gate. His name was “Rocky” in uniform (no weapon)! He was on duty from dark until 5am the next day. Cincinnati winters can be brutal and Rocky used to drink a little while on duty to stay warm and make it though the night! One morning before Christmas day; the News Dir. came into the station lobby and found The Big Christmas tree on the floor and “Rocky” was in the middle of it – tangled up in lights & tinsel passed out sleeping! That ended Rocky’s career there and a new Electronic Gate was installed! Goodbye to my friend and fellow Patriot! “Rocky” (real name withheld) Dave Michaels<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

TONY BRIDGE [2010 Texas Radio Hall of Fame inductee] <\/b>(Fort Worth-Benbrook, TX) <\/span><\/b>Subject: KLUE RADIO BURNS THE BEATTLES RECORDS. Back in the middle 1960\u2019s. the Beatles stunned the nation by saying \u201ctheir singing group was more important than God.\u201d In the East Texas Bible Belt, KLUE (pronounced \u201cclue\u201d) in Longview received hundreds of protest calls. Our big Rock Station sprung into action, promoting a giant bonfire on which to burn their records. Listeners brought timbers for the fire, which made it huge and seen for miles from atop KLUE\u2019s Signal Hill. Police and Sheriff forces cut off entrance of crowds at 3,000. To the blare of Rock Music the fire was lighted and the Beatles music was destroyed much to the glee of a crowd of every age. Covered by numerous TV stations, Several Newspapers and the Associated Press, it became a worldwide event. The story even made the magazine \u201cUncut\u201d the UK\u2019s leading Rock publication. My friends at KLIF, KBOX, KFJZ, and KXOL in the Multiplex, I\u2019m told, turned green with envy. Moral: \u201cDon\u2019t ever count out the Little Guys.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
