And the Happy Set listens to KODA!

The KODA Fabulous Houston jingle

This "Fabulous Houston" jingle was first aired on KODA-AM 1010 in the latter half of 1962. My copy was recorded in the spring of 1965 when I called the station and arranged for them to play that already outdated jingle over the air. (It became outdated when the Houston Colts became the Houston Astros in the fall of 1964.)

I know that this jingle aired in other markets with different lyrics. I once heard part of a version for Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

ABC Love PSA's

KXYZ-FM, Houston, 1969,"Brother John" Rydgren

This is a collection of PSA's aired by Love Radio. That was the syndicated rock format offered by ABC Radio and hosted by "Brother John" Rydgren (1932-1988).

Brother John is the announcer on the "piggies" PSA. You also hear him do a tag line on some of the other spots.

Most of the announcements feature rock stars asking young people not to shoot speed. There are also PSA's about consumer credit and smoking.
