Promo: The Great Rat Roundup– KNUS Dallas | 1978
Frankly, when this posted, your webmaster falsely assumed this was a big KNUS promo. Alas, the person who says he created this piece contacted us to set the record straight. Apparently this was *NOT* used on the air. Here’s what creator Bob Buchanan says about it: the roundup was NOT an on-air promo. it was…
Drew Pierce, 570 KRQX Dallas | October, 1984
Thanks to Contributor Robyn Watts, we now fit one of the pieces of the 570 AM puzzle in Dallas. 570 Dallas started off as WFAA – and really, the station that was WFAA began elsewhere on the dial – where every other AM station in America did, at 833 Kilocycles (KC) was at a couple…
Jim White / Tommy Kramer on KNUS 99 Dallas | 1972
KNUS 99 – 98.7 to be exact, was McLendon’s FM powerhouse. Originally slated to be an all-news station, and almost never to be because Gordon McLendon almost sold it in the 60s, KNUS turned out to be the SECOND successful Top 40 station, right behind (and later surpassing) sister KLIF 1190. Here’s two great jocks…
QuickChexx: 1190 KLIF Dallas | 1972
The next series of airchecks pertain to the Dallas market – in particular, Gordon McLendon’s contribution to broadcast history in ’72. Perhaps there has been no greater innovator in all of broadcast history than McLendon, from his baseball play-by-play re-creations to HIS style of Top 40 radio. This is one in a series of KLIF…
Ron Chapman, 103.7 KVIL Dallas | March, 1988
Here’s part of the Ron Chapman Morning Show on KVIL. Not much in the way of music here, but some beautiful jingles, lots of traffic reports and some news of the time. This is from before the station started calling itself “lite FM”. I’m impressed by the quality of Chapman’s show, and of the music…
Composite: KNUS Dallas | 1979
New Contributor Karl Ireland sent in some truly fascinating material for your listening pleasure. Here’s an un-dated station promotional composite of “FM 99” KNUS. Based upon the music, I’m guessing this is from Spring, 1979. Who’s the narrator? Listen to the voice very carefully and see if you can answer. This follows one broadcast day…
Domino, KHKS 106.1 Kiss-FM Denton/Dallas/Ft. Worth | March 1993
Featuring full reverb, 100KW and all the hits, Domino is having a blast on “The New 106.1 KISS-FM”. The Dallas/Ft. Worth market has no shortage of blowtorch signals (and why not? the market is surrounded by desert to the west and is sparcely populated outside of city limits… or it was in ’93). This is…
Tommy Kramer, KNUS 99 Dallas | June, 1972
Tommy Kramer is all over the web these days, with his own blog, consultant duties, etc. He was a great Top 40 jock as well, as you’ll hear in this ultra-short QuickCheck of McLendon’s KNUS 99. By the time of this aircheck, McLendon had sold his AM, KLIF, and the war to beat his former…
