XM Radio & Random Thoughts

Today XM salutes :KFJZ Ft. Worth, TX The BIG 12-70 Hear the hits from the KFJZ BIG 30 Survey. As we remember Nightmare Theatre with Gungon on Ch. 11. The submarine races on Signal Hill, Leonard?s Department Store, cruise with us to Carlson?s Hamburgers, Kincaid?s & The Cherry Lane Drive-In Theatre. Local bands the Mods & The Barons.

Show starts at 3PM on channel 6.

As previously discussed Beaker Street was broadcast from the transmitter. That may not seem like a big deal to some, but the transmitter was at Wrightsville, AR, about 20 miles from Little Rock. It really wasn't IN Wrightsville. It was in the middle of pasture land. Very isolated. And possibly haunted.

The studio on the other hand, was in downtown Little Rock. Near the action.

I can't imagine trying to do a show in such an isolated situation. All the things we take for granted in a radio studio were only available if Clyde brought it in or set it up. Give Dale a lot of credit. It was his baby and he deserves all the credit.
