MEGYN TANKS TO COMPETITION<\/strong>\u00a0Remember FOX TV\u2019s 2016 rising star Megyn Kelly? Megyn believes that she is the new\u00a0Lassie<\/em>. She leap frogs to less flashy NBC to become its bright and shiny new star. Not so. Prime guests shun\u00a0Megyn Kelly Today<\/em>. According to The Washington Post, her low ratings worry NBC so much that other Today hosts appear on Kelly\u2019s show on a\u00a0rescue mission<\/em>. According to Nielsen, ABC\u2019s\u00a0Live With Kelly and Ryan<\/em>\u00a0draws 14% more viewers than Megyn Kelly during her first week and a zappy 34% more during her second week.<\/p>\n

STEVE EBERHART (KGAF-1580 Eberhart Broadcasting owner\/manager) (Gainesville, TX)<\/strong>\u00a0Subject: KGAF. On October 1st, 1580 KGAF in Gainesville Texas celebrated its 70th anniversary. We had a big anniversary broadcast bringing back former KGAF staffers like Frank Haley, Dave Cooke, Jerry Adams, Pat Bolin, Steve Simmons, and a host of others. We played an interview I did years ago with original owner Joe Leonard Jr describing how it all started. We topped it off with a big contest with the prize of $1580 cash as first place and $500 second place prize. Big money for little ol\u2019 Gainesville! The anniversary show is on a podcast on our website www.1580kgaf.com if anyone would like to listen. Steve Eberhart owner\/operator KGAF, Eberhart Broadcasting<\/em>.<\/p>\n

FRANK HALEY [News Director KDAZ-730, ex KKIM FM, KOB-770, KTRH-740, KILT-610, KLIF-1190, KVIL FM, KGAF-1580] (Albuquerque, NM)<\/strong>\u00a0We watched cartoons and Dale Evans and Roy Rogers on Saturday mornings if we were lucky enough to have a TV. We would ride our bikes for hours. We\u2019d pitch a tent and camp out (as we called it) lol. We weren\u2019t afraid of anything except our parents. If someone had a fight which was really just a push and shove moment, we quickly got over it and began playing again with each other. Kids were given gun and rifle toys to play with by their parents and Santa. We never had to worry about a police officer asking to check to see if our toys were real guns. Kids had \u201d real rifles for hunting \u201d and a lot of boys actually had a rifle rack on the back of their pickup truck in the high school parking lot. Those rifles were for hunting and no one worried about anyone killing themselves or others. School was mandatory. We watched what we said around our elders because we knew If we DISRESPECTED any grown up we would get our butts busted, it wasn\u2019t called abuse, it was discipline !!! Please , thank you , Yes mam\/sir were part of our daily dialogue. Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if it were possible to get back to this way of life? AMEN!! Thank you Jesus!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Jim, Tony Lawrence also mentioned the studios. The three control rooms were, except for the size of the room, identical. Each had the red button, which meant any one could connect to either the 570 or 820 transmitter. The engineers always wanted to do \u201cmaintenance\u201d when I was working on Saturday afternoons. As far as I could tell it consisted of squirting Windex on the face of the VU meters and it took about two hours, which meant I had to move everything, records, carts, copy book, the log from the main control room to the production room and back again what seems like every Saturday. No other station came close to this level of periodic maintenance. Also, I\u2019m still waiting to hear Tony\u2019s story how he got into American Forces Radio as a draftee. In my case it was incredible luck and considerable clout from my congressman, Rep. Jim Wright from Fort Worth.

TRIVIA ANSWER:<\/strong>\u00a0On October 20, 1906 Dr. Lee DeForest demonstrates the electrical vacuum radio tube. DeForest dislikes the term \u201cwireless\u201d. He chooses a new moniker, \u201cradio.\u201d<\/p>\n

He did go on to a very successful career at KFRC (610) with Michael Spears as PD, then later at KHJ (930) Los Angeles. Today Beau is one of the most sought after voice over talents in the biz. And he worked for Bill Young in Houston somewhere along the line. They remained good friends. Nick Alexander Productions Quinlan, Tx<\/em><\/p>\n
