Facebook Anyone?

With joy - and some embarrassment - many former jocks have found each other on Facebook.

A few have posted some really wonderful - and a few embarrassing - photos from their careers.

If you have a Facebook account maybe you have some as well.

There is also a quick and easy way to set up a group for Houston radio jocks on Facebook. Facebook members can join that group and easily post photos and make connections ther as well.

Please let me know if you'd like me to set one up and if you'd like to be an administrator.

This site is getting little traffic since the reunion. While it will always be here for a place to connect for the next event, Facebook seems to be THE place to socialize online.

Ever Changing Circumstance

Recent changes at many Houston stations have prompted me to post a quick call to action!

Nope, sorry, I don't have any jobs to offer the many of you who have found themselves living the "Life After Radio".

I do know that email addresses of formerly employed radio folks may no longer be good addresses. And many of you may have lost your contact lists as well.

If you are one of the many recent "cut backs" in area radio and want to get your new email addresses out to everyone please let me know.

I will send out a newsletter including as soon as I can or you can post them as "comments" here. If you have a Facebook, MySpace or other website where folks can still touch base with you I'll be happy to post it on the sidebar as well.


Now that you have all this free time, it might be a good time to catch up again.

KILT News Bulletins from Nov 22, 1963

I was looking for some video to include in my newsletter this morning and ran across these. Granted, they are radio news stories recorded on Nov 22, 19663. So there's no actual video. But the audio quality is great and the voices of former KILT jocks are recognizable to a lot of long time KILT listeners.

They are from the AM heydays of KILT 610 AM.
