DUKE GILLELAND (Belton, TX)<\/strong> Subject: Job Well Done To KOKE FM!! Jim, This week we had a catastrophic event here locally when an oversize 18 wheeler hit a bridge on I-35 at Salado. The driver of the truck escaped injury but it sent 3 other drivers to the hospital and killed one other. NOTHING was ever said on our local political talk (squawk) radio about the accident. But KOKE FM 99.3 kept us posted on the traffic situation, advising drivers that the interstate was closed both ways and other routes to take getting home. JOB WELL DONE BY KOKE FM AND IT\u2019S STAFF! We appreciate you! Duke & Cindy Gilleland; Belton, Texas<\/em><\/p>\n

JAY WALKER [KJKK FM\/KTSA\/KTFM FM\/CBS Radio\/Jay Walker Productions] (Dallas-McKinney, TX)<\/strong> Subject: Interesting observations recently. True enough Jim. Last couple of nights I\u2019ve been listening to 1550 which use to be the home of WOKJ Jackson MS. They\u2019ve been off the air for years. But now there\u2019s a station playing R&B and Gospel just like they did\u2026 Strange\u2026 Heard an oldies stations at 1290 playing 50\u2019s-60\u2032 pus a number of the old Class B 5k\/1k on the high end below 1600 playing English music. Sure would be nice to hear music regularly on the band again. Now if we could only get Ty Tyler to put music back on 1520 KOMA\u2026 Take care. Jay<\/em><\/p>\n

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong> On March 27, 1928 KGB-1360 San Diego, CA goes on the air with call letters KFBC as the oldest continuing radio station in the San Diego market. Pickwick Broadcasting buys KFBC and installs G)eorge B)owles as Vice President and Manager. KFBC call letters change to reflect his name as KGB. In 1934, Art Linkletter gets his start in radio on KGB as announcer and Program Director. For 25 years Art Linkletter hosts House Party<\/em> on CBS radio and TV. For 19 years he hosts People Are Funny<\/em> on NBC radio and TV.<\/p>\n

LARRY TODD [former KHFI TV anchor] (Austin, TX)<\/strong> Subject: KVUE TV. Hi Jim You are really a night owl. Great to hear from you. a couple corrections. Our TV side was KHFI TV\u2026channel 42. It was never kvue\u2026today it is KXAN\u2026still an NBC outlet. Charles Stewart and I did the news. Bill Richardson on weather and Mel butchered the sports. (not really\u2026he was great.) remember Cal (Druxman) as a fine person\u2026always relaxed and candid\u2026honest. We had John Bounder for radio and I just can\u2019t remember the other news hounds. Dave Jarrott worked there as a DJ about that time. YOU take care\u2026 LT<\/em><\/p>\n

CRAIG BEAN [Texas Association of Broadcasters, Previous KVUE-TV, KCEN-TV, KTEM Radio] (Austin, TX)<\/strong>Subject: KVUE TV CH 42. Lynn (Woolley) is correct. I worked at KVUE-TV for 30 years, since they signed on as Channel 24 and as an ABC affiliate. KBVO signed on as the Independent until they took CBS from KTBC. I\u2019m not sure if it was at the time FOX bought KTBC, but CBS wanted a full clearance station in Austin. Lynn is also correct about KHFI changing from 42 to 36, opening the channel 42 allocation for KBVO. KBVO changed call sign to KEYE to mirror the CBS \u201cEYE.\u201d Craig<\/em><\/p>\n

DAN RATHER (October 31, 1931 \u2013 p)<\/strong> An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger<\/em>.<\/p>\n
