When he intro'd himself, he prolonged the 'Deep' then would go way down in a bass voice to emphasize the 'Throat'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-67337356715927960232011-03-30T20:33:49.454-05:002011-03-30T20:33:49.454-05:00CD in NYC - I have added the label KYOK to the art...CD in NYC - I have added the label KYOK to the article - sorry I had left that off. Click on that for all the posts on the blog about KYOK. I don't seem to have anything about Dorothy Shelly although the name is familiar.

And with all the driving you have to do in Houston, I spent a lot of time with KYOK and it was a great time period for music. I was trying to recall the name of a female radio host who had an evening jazz show that I liked too. Was it 'Dorothy Shelly'? I am grateful to her for being the first to introduce me to music I still appreciate today.

I knew KYOK had gone thru some changes before becoming KMIC but hadn't documented them. <BR/><BR/>There is lots of misinformation about Houston radio and television in Wikipedia.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-69759003950498933262008-05-02T08:28:00.000-05:002008-05-02T08:28:00.000-05:00Wikipedia has incorrect information on KYOK.

In 1991 to 1992 KYOK was Yo 1590 Raps followed by a simulacast of KHYS Y 98.5 in fact I have an aircheck of 1590 when they simulcasted Y985.<BR/>In 1994 they broke the simulcast and 1590 Solid Gold Soul was born it lasted til 1997 when the station flipped from Soul Oldies to Gospel 1590 AM (I remember seeing the red and white bumper stickers). Then in 1999 1590AM was sold to Disney ABC networks and Radio Disney KMIC was born, and the frequency was moved to 1190Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
