Hudson & Harrigan on KILT Houston | 1977
And now… the legendary Hudson and Harrigan! Plenty of excitement and fun on this legendary Top 40 powerhouse in the waning days of AM Top 40!
This and the KRBE aircheck posted today came to us via an ‘anonymous’ contributor back around Christmastime 2004. Does this ring a bell - if you recorded this we’d sure like to know who you are!
KILT is now an all-sports station on 610, but back in 1977 this was THE station to listen to. Travel back in time with us now and imagine yourself heading to work listening to this pair on your car’s Delco AM radio… you remember, the one with one large speaker in the center of the dash… the one you probably bought an FM converter to try out with only to discover that AM still sounded better.



As a former resident of Houston, it was great hearing
Hudson and Harrigan, played by Mark Stevens and Jim
Pruett. I listened to them from 1979-1981,first on KILT, then on KULF; then again on KLOL for three years after they returned from Dallas radio on Monday, March 31’st,1986.
Mark and Jim were truly humorous and entertaining. I
tape-recorded some of their KLOL shows from March,’86
to March ‘89, when I left Houston to live in the
San Francisco Bay Area. If anybody has any recordings
from Mark and Jim’s KULF “Stevens and Pruett” show, please send them in to Airchexx.com! Thank you!
I stumbled into your comment about Hudson and Harrigan. Couldn’t agree more - a truly great team.
A few weeks ago I was shocked outta my socks when I ran into Jim Pruett. He now owns a small but quite successful gun shop in northwest Houston.
I think his website is now jimpruett.net
Just thot you might be interested.

I grew up in Boston, and listened to WMEX with WOO-WOO Ginsberg,and the power house of WBZ, but
WBZ and WMEX couldn’t hold a candle to “THE BIG 610, KILT”. Hudson and Harrigan were the best.
I am glad I taped lots of their morning shows
I still chuckle when I hear H&H on KILT.
One of the best teams of all times.
Jim was on the Lars Larson Show a couple months back.
