KTUE was not a new station when this special section appeared in the Chronicle, it was upgrading from 5 to 100 watts and moving into new studios in the basement of the Texas State Hotel on Fannin, now the Club Quarters. KTUE was sold the next year (1930) and became KXYZ. In an interview in 1982, John T. Jones, Jr., said that the station actually operated out of a spare room in the basement barber shop of the Hotel.
