I’m in Dallas listening to some very fine stations
highly tuned by excellent broadcasters. There are not
too many cities that can beat Dallas “local” and
quality.
PAGE ONE TO PAUL HARVEY. I listened to Dallas based
Texas Radio Hall of Fame personality Ron Chapman
substituting for you. He is fabulous. Paul, IF you ever
retire Ron should be considered a likely successor.
(Paul is networked in Dallas on WBAP).
I don’t recall whether Charley Jones is in the Texas
Radio Hall of Fame. He should be. Charley is heard on
KRLD…..Texas Overnight with Charley Jones. The concept
of his program is to receive calls from all over the big
state of Texas reacting to subjects of the night. I have
listened a lot to Charley….pure class.
The morning show on KKDA is very good. Good work by the
entire crew led by Texas Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster
Ken Dowe.
And, the call of nominations to the Texas Radio Hall of
Fame is happening NOW…so all you Texas broadcasters
check their site and nominate your favorite.
The trip to Texas….Houston and Dallas was not all fun. I
had a very sick mother on my hands…and we almost lost
her to congestive heart disease…but with the talent of
today’s doctors they saved her after four days in ICU.
At 97 she is a tough Annie Oakley and Barbara Stanwick
type of rancher- cow-lady. This was a close call. I WAS
THERE.
As you read this I should be back in Florida…taking in
the sun and having a yellow snapper, a seafood salad,
and a glass of white wine dinner.
One last e-paragraph…. to my former associate of two
decades…Lee Abrams… who, as you know by now, is the new
idea man for the Tribune. Hey Lee…here is a PAGE ONE
concept for you. Buy the company that publishes the J.
K. Rowling books (she is arguably the world’s greatest
concept writer at this time) so the Tribune can print
the first few chapters of her new-to-be-written- book on
the front page of the Trib…and attached to the chapters
is “the world’s most expensive and read newspaper ad”
(which it will be)…yes, on the FRONT PAGE!!!! The
remainder of her chapters can be printed on the
Tribune’s internet site on a weekly basis…pay for
read!!! Repeat the concept twice a year. $$$$$$.
Have a great weekend.
