I lived in San Antonio in the mid-60's. My Dad was stationed at Randolph Air Force Base. We lived near KTSA Radio.
I recently took a trip down memory lane via Google Street View and noticed there are now five towers at KTSA. In the 60s, there were only 4. I am curious what the 5th tower is for?
The two most popular radio stations at that time seemed to be KTSA and KONO, or at least, the little group of kids I hung around with listened to both.
I love San Antonio. We only lived there for about a year. I went to East Terrell Hills Elementary School and Krueger Middle School. The Air Force did not believe in families staying in one location more than a year. Hence, I went to 15 schools in 12 years.
Always wanted to get into the radio biz (engineering) and even got my First Class Ticket back in the 70's. But, for some reason, I ended up in television and recently retired as a video editor in Nashville, TN.
I remember a DJ on KTSA, Ricci Ware. I think he lived not too far from me, as I was walking home from school one day, and a little boy sitting on the curb told me his Father was Ricci Ware. I think the little boy's name may have been Trey, but I am not sure.
One winter, San Antonio got a few inches of snow. KTSA asked people to write KTSA in the snow on their front lawns. If station employees drove by and saw it, I think there was some kind of prize given out. Every house on Melton Street, where I lived, had KTSA written on the front lawns, but none of us won.
I listen to WOAI occasionally here in Nashville. But, with the millions of wall-warts and computers in the neighborhood, it is very difficult to hear anymore.
While I was living in Northeast Tennessee in the 70's, I was able to listen to KTSA one evening. I have tried to tune it in here in Nashville, but we have a sports talk station on 560.
Thanks so much for reading this. Take care!
