[BC] Re: HD Receiver returns

[Stan Tacker]

The Dallas market in the 70's is a great example of what good programming
does to any medium-- AM, FM or digital whatever.

How about KVIL AM and FM?  Tiny AM, big FM.  Story has it that the simulcast
was perpetuated for years due to an office space shortage in Highland Park,
the city of license(which is in the middle of Dallas).  Ron Chapman helped
fuel the success of that station for years.

To the best of my memory, by the mid 70's KLIF was owned by Fairchild.  The
programming flip to FM was well underway.  I think McLendon still had the
FM.

What was it that Marshall McLuhan said?  The medium is the message?  What
signal are we sending today?

I was amazed. I moved there from Boston. WFAA had a great morning 
show and friends of mine helped produce the KNUS fantasy concerts. 
They were so beautifully done that you'd swear every major singer of 
the time had gathered in Dallas for this concert. I think McLendon 
still owned it with KLIF. KAFM (known as K-FM) introduced me to 
Progressive Country and the Willie Nelson gatherings.

It was another exciting radio market back then.
