A Day in the Life -

- of a Galveston radio listener, Sunday, February 2, 1947.   KGBC had signed on the previous day but there were no listings in the Galveston News for that day; these are the first published listings.  The News also published the listings for the three Houston stations whose signals would reach Galveston.  The only other Houston AM on the air at that time, KTHT, was still operating on 1230 kc with only 250 watts and probably was not listenable to most Galvestonians.

An ad published in the News on Saturday, February 1, for KGBC's first day was posted here.

Rick Roberts - RIP

Long time Houston radio legend Rick Roberts passed recently.  Here's the Chronicle story.

Viewing Alert - KHOU Anniversary

Heads up:  the sixtieth anniversary of KGUL/KHOU, Channel 11, is this week.  I understand the station is going to be presenting some features, something to be on the lookout for.

I hope they're also posted online.
