J. Kent Hackleman was an early talk show host on KTRH. His granddaughter has this site devoted to him, trying to raise money to digitize 300 audio tapes of his shows. There are some pictures and a little bit of history.
A couple of weeks ago, JR Gonzales published this article on his Bayou City History blog about the crash of the KODABIRD. There's only one picture but there are excerpts from the newspaper coverage of the day and more background on the individuals involved.
Here's an article from Houston History Magazine. The Jive Hive was before my time but anyone who was around in the 60s through the 90s will remember The Record Rack on Shepherd at Alabama.
The article includes lots of quotes from Paul Berlin, who had a record store of his own, on the relation between record shops and radio.
For those interested in more recent history, here's an article from the Press in 2002 about the end of the Record Rack.
