This is radio not TV...

I get that but this one also gets nearly 2x the audience if not more.

Remember KTHT Houston's first station to be broadcast on 67. In it's infancy, and that was short-lived they had shows such as:

My three sons
The ghost & Mrs. muir
The saint
AWA wrestling
NWA wrestling
along with many more that I can't recall and then unfortunately they flipped to KHSH Home shopping.

Anyone know where I could find an old schedule?

Thanks

I Loved that TV station! It was great! HSN - never tune it in, don't care. Wasn't that in the era before that horrifying tower collapse? I forget whether that tower collapse took out 67 or some other TV stations for a while. Wasn't it a new transmitter bay array for KRBE that precipitated the collapse?
 
ha! I remember KTHT-67 when it signed on from Alvin. You forgot the game show block at 7:00pm which featured "Joker's Wild" and "Tic Tac Dough". Man, I loved that station. Also, it was wrestling from all over the country. They aired, IIRC, at 8:00. AWA, NWA, Mid-South, one from the Seattle area (can't recall the name, maybe Pacific Northwest?) and the old UWF.

If you find an old schedule, let me know. I'd love to have one of those in my hands too!

I don't remember 67 ever having tower issues. That was Ch. 20 shortly after it signed on circa 1983? I believe there is footage of the actual collapse as it happened posted on youtube.
 
I vaguely remember KTHT! It was short-lived from what I gather. However, I do remember KHTV Channel 39 which was the best Independent station in Houston by far. It was independent from 1967-1995. It was so popular, cable systems in Louisiana were carrying it during the late 1970's and was considered a regional super station.

20Vision
Metromedia 26

Superstar67

Of course, I still miss "Turn on the Tube" KTBU 55 when it had classic TV.

Actually, it was the Channel-20 tower that collapsed. They were hoisting a
multi-station FM antenna on it when something went wrong.

Please take this conversation to the Texas TV board. What is it about the words "Texas Radio" that you don't understand?

I believe I explained that in my opening post...
 
No KTHT 67 hit the air sometime in 1984. KTXH's tower collapsed before that in 1982. I'm surprised that someone actually had footage of it.
 
I have, in the past, found old TV (and radio, too) schedules in old newspapers at libraries. Some radio stuff dating back to the 30s. They are now stored on either micro-fiche or, in some cases, CDs or DVDs and usually printable to hard copy.
