They were not just co-owned, they were managed by a husband and wife (I hesitate to say team because I don't know how much coordination there was before the simulcast started). Vickie (sp? Williams was GM of the FM, her husband (Dick?) was GM of the AM.<br /><br />I thought I also remembered that Harte-Hanks was basically just a name change from Southern, but that's not the way it is described in the Wiki article on Harte-Hanks, which says it was a purchase. There may have been continuity also in the ownership change going back to Winston-Salem BC. My memory is very vague but it may be in my notes somewhere.<br /><br />I did not know of recnet; thanks for mentioning that. Back when I was doing most of the research, the FCC history cards were not online. I wish they had been so I could have included more exact dates for some of this history. And many FCC notices about Houston stations did not always make it into the papers, or if they did, I did not find them. The papers archives were only available on microfilm at the HPL and were not indexed so I spent hours cranking through the reels on the old readers.<br /><br />I'll be looking into recnet more and may sign up to add data.<br /><br /><br /><br />Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-60668256340004172852020-08-12T22:42:30.023-05:002020-08-12T22:42:30.023-05:00I was just looking at the history cards for KKBQ a...I was just looking at the history cards for KKBQ and KBME which are now linked at recnet.com. I don't know if you already know this, but it appears these two stations were co-owned some years before Houston's Stereo Combination (79Q & 93FM) was born. I see these stations were owned by Southern Broadcasting in the early 70s then Harte-Hanks by 1978. Which now I understand how the format was able to move to FM. I never knew this <br />.
