J.R. Gonzales' Bayou City History blog in the Chronicle has another radio related post this week with a picture of a couple of paper boys and 7 radio commercials for the Chronicle, believed to date from the late 1960s. He's asked if anybody can identify the announcer. I wasn't around Houston much in that era and there were many voices on the radio I wasn't familiar with. I've entered a guess, anyway.
Give 'em a listen and see if you can help, or just give 'em a listen.
I had discovered this material several years ago but when I went to post about it on the blog, it had been taken off the web. I went looking for it and found it again. These archives are maintained by Indiana University. On the side-bar on the right, click on the sub-galleries for Rick Roberts, George Nelson, Skipper Lee Frazier and Travis Gardner for collections of photos relating to KCOH and KYOK. There is one photo in the Rick Roberts collection relating to KGBC, Galveston. There are only a few shots of the studios and personalities but it's great stuff.
The Chronicle's Four DVRs, No Waiting radio and TV blog by David Barron has posted the complete text of an article about the success of Contemporary Christian Music station KSBJ-FM.
Only an abbreviated version of the article had previously been published.
