Hired by Bill Bossi, worked with Ric Libby, Dee Wooten, Dick Sims, Jim Guidry (Jim Wilson) and helped Hal McClain get on the air there after he did a brief vacation fill-in. It was a very good station and I learned much from those I worked with. I saw many photos of the old studios and transmitter site, the studios were built more like a TV station than radio - audience theater, etc. Transmitter site photos very impressive!Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163258347918735065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-29275630665062354032009-04-30T05:37:00.000-05:002009-04-30T05:37:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for your comment; I'm so glad to...Thank you so much for your comment; I'm so glad to hear from you.<br /><br />As I've remarked elsewhere on this blog, your Dad was certainly one of the most impressive figures to emerge in my study of the history of broadcasting in Houston and it is a shame his role has been forgotten. Somehow I knew before I started this that he had owned a station in San Antonio but I was so surprised to learn of all his accomplishments in the field and I wish both that he had stayed in broadcasting and I had had a chance to work for him.<br /><br />He deserves to be in the Texas Radio Hall of Fame (as do several others in the history of the development of the media here in Houston who have been overlooked).<br /><br />I have more to publish about KTHT coming up soon.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689118444867837021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-18069257403614902292009-04-29T13:29:00.000-05:002009-04-29T13:29:00.000-05:00It is such a joy to know that an

One of his first jobs as a struggling kid at 16 while providing for his widowed Mother, was as a midnight DJ.He vowed he'd own a station someday. He is mostly known for having been County Judge at 24 and Mayor by 40: Most widely recognized as Father of The Astrodome and owner of the Colt 45/Astros.From Radio he ventured into Television as 16% owner of KTRK.Thank you for acknowleding him on your great site.He and my Mom, Dene I, were a winning team FOR<br />HOUSTON!*****<br />Dene Hofheinz Anton<br />(songwriter) got it honestly LOLDene Hofheinz Antonnoreply@blogger.com
