This is a page under development.
(Actually, at this point it would be more correct to say that
it is under underdevelopment.) It is a place to list short production items, including ones
copied from the longer airchecks. There is not much here,
so it is mainly for future use.By the way, the Bayou City History feed is now on this page
in the column far to the right.
Who is Range Fire Rita?
KTRH, Houston, PSA,
Range Fire Rita, 1970
I recently stumbled onto this PSA which I had neglected
to put on line. All I can tell you about it is that I recorded
it off KTRH sometime in the early 70's, probably 1970.
I can't tell you what motivated me to preserve this spot.
When I listened to my radio recordings after 22 years of storage,
I found this item sitting on a reel with other odds and ends,
neatly organized with a leader tape on each end.
How many Texas women do you know who actually talk like this?
"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for them to play that already outdated jingle over the air.
(It became outdated when the Houston Colts became the Houston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.
