VARIETY SAYS AM RADIO IS\u00a0CESSPOOL<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Variety TV Critic Brian Lowry decides to blast AM radio after he learns about FCC commissioner Ajit Pai’s panel on AM revitalization at the NAB show in Las Vegas, NV. He writes a\u00a0wickedly sarcastic article<\/i>\u00a0titled\u00a0AM Radio: Welcome to the Cesspool<\/i>. The harsh TV critic lets loose his cannons on several topics that bother him about radio:\u00a0radio is often viewed as the bastard cousin at NAB, the medium that doesn\u2019t garner much attention alongside TV and new technologies<\/i>. Lowry doesn’t like AM radio’s\u00a0advertising, diversity of stations in L.A., weekend infomercials and of course talk radio<\/i>. He goes on:\u00a0AM\u2019s most obvious excess would be its contribution to political polarization in the form of talk hosts<\/i>\u00a0(conservatives Rush Limbaugh and SeanHannity).<\/span><\/p>\n

(Gentleman]\u00a0<\/span><\/b>JIM\u00a0Carter [KBUC, KONO] (San Antonio,\u00a0TX)\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b>Howdy Jimbo: One of your last email contributors mentioned meeting WRR’s Jim Lowe, (the original voice of Big Tex). I worked for Jim Lowe back in 1969. I did afternoon drive at sizzling HOT WRR. “Smokin'” Jim Lowe did morning drive and was the “Shotgun Kelly” of the station. He was like a gunslinger. When you weren’t paying attention to him “Smokin'” Jim would whip out one his famous “Library of Laffs” LP cuts and fill your ears with the likes of Jose Jiminez, Jonathon Winters or any of a number of other perennial favorites. And as a result Superjock “Smokin'” Jim hit a bulls eye with many Big D listeners and rode the range and kept the peace at WRR for nearly a century…or so it seemed. One day “Smokin” Jim decided enough was enough and galloped off into the sunset and left a heckuva legendary legacy. Lol. Just thinking about WRR being called a “HOT” station cracks me up! And calling my 2:00-6:00 PM shift “afternoon drive” and Jim Lowe being referred to as “Smokin’ Joe” is a hoot ‘n a holler…especially if you knew him or me. The station’s ratings lived in the dumpster in the basement. The format was a combination of Charlie Van’s WFAA, a little country influence from the likes of WBAP 820 and a dash of “long hair”, (ie), KIXL. And of course every hour was spiced up with a comedy bit from one of a multitude of many funny folks that Jim Lowe personally hand-picked for his “Library of Laffs”. It was fun to think about Jim again after all these years…so kudos to your contributor or reader for mentioning the one and only Jim Lowe. And no, this is not the Jim Lowe of “Green Door” fame…I actually thought it was the same guy until I was almost middle-aged, lol. Keep the memories coming Jim. The best to you and Lacy.

LYNN\u00a0WOOLLEY [KRLD-KTEM-KNOW-KUT] (Waco-Temple,\u00a0TX)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Subject: Gaylon Christie. By the way, KTON 940 is defunct. But the old KMIL and later KTAE, 1330, in Cameron will be moving to Temple with greatly increased power and the call letters will be\u00a0KTON.\u00a0(<\/span>www.BeLogical.com<\/a><\/span><\/b>)<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

JIM\u00a0GOUGH [‘Mr. Texas’-movie actor-voice actor] (Austin-Liberty Hill,\u00a0TX)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Subject: Jim Rose Remembers Radio (#1186) April 01, 2013 [Monday] Yep…I remember now. Milton (Graves) KFRD. I’m surprised that you and I never met at KNUZ. I was there a lot cutting spots. Paul Berlin and I were good friends and Dave Morris and I were on the same rodeo committee. Dave got me to produce some TV spots for him also. Jim\u00a0Gough<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

TRIVIA\u00a0ANSWER:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0In the morning of 1973, Bernie Taupin writes the lyrics to Elton John’s hit record,\u00a0Daniel<\/i>. In the afternoon, Elton puts the words to music. Before the day finishes, Elton John records the tune with his band.Daniel<\/i>\u00a0swiftly rises to #2 in the US and reaches #4 in the UK with sales of over a half million\u00a0copies.<\/span><\/p>\n

ANDY\u00a0WALDROP (Houston,\u00a0TX)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Subject: Terry Hunt? Jim, Here is a link to their homepage. I can’t quite figure-out what their call letters are. Call letters COULD be\u00a0KRMX. (www.929shooterfm.com\/Homepage\/14335002<\/a><\/span><\/b>)Andy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

JOAN PATE-DAY [late Sam Pate’s sister] (Cedar Creek Lake,\u00a0TX)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Subject: Cowboy Weaver. My husband and I were dating at the time. He had bought me a new 17 jewel watch for Christmas and Cowboy asked to use it as we recorded (radio show). The whole time he was recording he continually wind my watch. When it broke he threw it to me and said “this does not run it is a piece of junk”. My Bill never liked him after that. I did not go on his television show but Sam (Pate) played the slap bass for him. Behind him on the stage, without him knowing Sam would ride the bass like a horse. Cowboy thought everyone was laughing at\u00a0him<\/span><\/i>.<\/p>\n

OSCAR\u00a0WILDE (1854-1900)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0My experience is that as soon as people are old enough to know better, they don’t know anything at\u00a0all<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
