The info on radio stations (I've only seen the Houston listings) are.... annoying. I went in to change KRBE about a week ago and have been updating it since. Thats why I was asking for KRBE history. Please anyone else with real knowledge keep adding to it.
The description read that KRBE's "broadcast center" (???) had recently moved to Sugarland. I corrected it.

Anyone can do it -- I just did! KRBE, before and after (and a KENR aside)

Indeed. Anyone can write this stuff.
I'd never contributed to Wikipedia before. But I just did.
Here's a before-and-after snapshot of what I did. I don't claim perfection (I arguably spent an inordinate amount of time on this as is) but I do claim to have made some improvements.
If anyone thinks they can do any better, by all means have at it!
(BTW, the one reservation I have is that maybe my parenthetical aside about KENR is a tad long. Then again, there is no Wikipedia entry regarding KENR, so including the info I did might be helpful.)
FWIW, there's part of me that still wants to fiddle with this. Maybe it's addictive. ;-)

KRBE, "before" entry.
History
The station signed on in 1958, as a classical station and continued so into the late 60's when it flipped for the first time to top 40. In the late 70's KRBE billed itself as "Super Rock 104 KRBE" by then playing a mixture top 40 and rock. In 1981 KRBE went Adult Contemporary as "FM 104 KRBE". In late 1982 top 40/KKBQ AM moved to FM with great success. KRBE relaunched as top 40/"Power 104 KRBE" in mid-summer 1985 to rival KKBQ and the two stations remained head to head throughout the remainder of the 80's. In 1987 KRBE took a lean towards a dance friendly/top 40 format doing evening weekend studio mixshows from 10pm to 2am known as "The Friday & Saturday Night Power Mix". KKBQ matched it with its own mixshows calling it "Club 93Q". By the end of 1987 the dance lean had built so much momentum that KRBE had to top 93Q again and it did on the night of January 9, 1988 when it launched "The Saturday Night Power Mix Live from The Ocean Club", Houston's first live 4 hour (later 6 hour) mixshow from a nightclub. On May 29, 1988 (a bit late) KKBQ launched its first live nightclub broadcast "93Q Live On The Cutting Edge from Club 6400", a club that played a mix of industrial, new wave and goth. No top 40 was allowed. (KRBE's show was a little more radio friendly but was first to play some of the music 6400 was spinning) It was an instant success. The stations continued it's top 40 rivalry (including mixshows from various Houston nightclubs) until 1991 when the top 40 formatics were showing signs of wear. KRBE stripped to a generic "no frills" top 40 format dropping all the lazer fx, DJ's were asked to stop screaming, no more rap, no more voiceover announcers, even the "POWER" moniker was gone. KRBE was rebranded as 104 KRBE "Hits Without the Hype", using liners like "No Rap, No Crap, No Screaming DJs". KKBQ remained on its same course and eventually flipped to country by late 1991. KRBE continued to offer the hottest dance music the world had to offer through it's live club mixshows with the launch of "The Beat" (1994-2002) and mixed by some of the best local DJ's like: DJ Rich (now the Riddler), and DJ Mark Delange. Broadcasting from premier venues such as: Shelter (94-95), Kaboom (95-96), The Roxy (96-02). KRBE gained a worldwide audience with "The Beat" when it began streaming it's audio through their website in the late 90's, prompting the station to bill itself as "The World Famous 104 KRBE". KRBE is and remains Houston's ONLY hit music station.
76% of Houstonians say this is the station they listen to. However their target audience is teenagers and young adults, (basically ages 13-25).
Currently the morning show DJ's are Atom Smasher and Maria Todd, and they do a show called Atom and Maria in the Morning from 6am-10am (Central Time).
Currently known as "104.1 KRBE"
In late January 2006, KRBE launched it's digital HD signal.
Recently being purchased by Cumulus Media (which also owns Houston radio station's KIOL-FM and KFNC-FM)

KRBE entry after I fiddled with it.
History
The station signed on in 1958 as a classical station and continued as such into the late 60's when it flipped for the first time to top 40.
In the late 70's KRBE billed itself as "Super Rock 104 KRBE" or "Houston's Super Rock," playing a mixture of top 40 and rock. KRBE's late 1970s DJs included, amongst others, "Shotgun" Cook, Barry Kaye, CC McCartney, Kenny Miles, The Catfish and Roger W. Garrett (who sometimes repeated his middle initial numerous times when saying his name).
In 1981 KRBE went Adult Contemporary as "FM 104 KRBE". In late 1982 top 40/KKBQ AM (which had signed on in July of that year) moved to FM with great success.
KRBE relaunched as top 40/"Power 104 KRBE" in mid-summer 1985 to rival KKBQ and the two stations remained head to head throughout the remainder of the 80's.
In November 1986, Susquehanna Radio purchased KRBE as well as another Houston station broadcasting at 1070 AM. The AM signal had been known as KENR for years (as an aside, KENR had, in fact, achieved some noteworthy success in the 1970s as a country station; amongst other things, KENR was the first station to play Mickey Gilley's song "Roomful of Roses," giving the then-local country singer a big break and, subsequently, his first of 16 #1 U.S. country hits. Additionally, Corpus Christi, Texas, DJ Bruce Nelson Stratton -- who as Bruce Nelson had been the DJ and music director responsible for first playing "Roomful of Roses" -- says that in 1973, he was one of the people who made KENR the first major-market country station that was #1 in all 12-years-and-older demographics) but by 1986 it was known as KKZR-AM; Susquehanna changed the 1070 AM call letters back to KENR-AM.
In 1987 KRBE took a lean towards a dance friendly/top 40 format doing evening weekend studio mixshows from 10pm to 2am known as "The Friday & Saturday Night Power Mix". KKBQ matched it with its own mixshows calling it "Club 93Q". By the end of 1987 the dance lean had built so much momentum that KRBE had to top 93Q again and it did on the night of January 9, 1988 when it launched "The Saturday Night Power Mix Live from The Ocean Club", Houston's first live 4 hour (later 6 hour) mixshow from a nightclub.

KRBE stripped to a generic "no frills" top 40 format dropping all the lazer fx, DJ's were asked to stop screaming, no more rap, no more voiceover announcers, even the "POWER" moniker was gone. KRBE was rebranded as 104 KRBE "Hits Without the Hype", using liners like "No Rap, No Crap, No Screaming DJs". KKBQ remained on its same course for a time but eventually flipped to country by autumn 1991, after a brief period in which it programmed a rock-oriented top 40 mix as a stunt.
KRBE continued to offer the hottest dance music the world had to offer through its live club mixshows with the launch of "The Beat" (1994-2002) and mixed by some of the best local DJ's like: DJ Rich (now the Riddler), and DJ Mark Delange. Broadcasting from premier venues such as: Shelter (94-95), Kaboom (95-96), The Roxy (96-02).
From 1992-1994, the station aired "The New Music Zone," an alternative music show that typically aired weeknights from 7 PM to midnight. In the mid-1990s, around 1995-1996, the station's playlist as a whole had a pronounced alternative lean, but it eventually drifted back towards mainstream CHR. In 1996, program director Tom Poleman and air talents Paul "Cubby" Bryant and Ryan Chase left KRBE for similar positions with CHR/pop Z100 WHTZ New York (which had, like KRBE, leaned in an alternative direction for a time).
KRBE gained a worldwide audience with "The Beat" live club dance mix show when it began streaming its audio through its website in the late 90's, prompting the station to bill itself as "The World Famous 104 KRBE". KRBE is and remains Houston's ONLY CHR/pop hit music station.

Currently the morning show DJ's are Atom Smasher and Maria Todd, and they do a show called Atom and Maria in the Morning from 6am-10am (Central Time).
Currently known as "104.1 KRBE"
On October 31, 2005, Susquehanna announced it had reached an agreement to sell its radio assets, including KRBE, to a partnership including Cumulus Media (which also owns Houston radio stations KIOL-FM and KFNC-FM) as well as Bain Capital, Blackstone Group and Thomas H. Lee Partners. The deal was expected to be completed sometime during the first half of 2006.
In late January 2006, KRBE launched its digital HD signal, programming on HD2 a classic alternative format.

Re: Some AM 1070 clarifications
I think the sale of KRBE/KENR took place in the early 80s. In '83 or '84, KENR changed calls to KRBE-AM and became "Classic Rock 1070". The flip to Z-Rock (KKZR) took place in 1988 (there may have been another format between those two, but memory is failing me on that). On January 1, 1991, KKZR flipped their calls back to KRBE-AM and simulcast 104.1, which continued for a few years until the station was sold.

Re: Some AM 1070 clarifications
Thanks for the clarifications.
The source for my comment about the sale of KRBE/KENR was the Susquehanna website (http://www.susquehannaradio.com/aboutus/history.asp).
The relevant part of that history says, "The long-anticipated entry into the Houston market occurred in November 1986 with the purchase of KKZR-AM (changed to KENR-AM) and KRBE-FM."
To that, I added a parenthetical, alluding to KENR's 1970s successes as a country station.
Somewhere online, I read that the owner had been reluctant to change KRBE to country but that when the owner of KILT AM/FM did do so, it led to the demise of KENR as a country station. (If I'm not misquoting.)
By the way, when did Susquehanna sell 1070 AM?

So what did it say about Stern before someone fixed it?
Just for kicks, let's see if I can remember all the morning shows on The Buzz in order.
Just Plain Mark (without Lanny)
Mark Sutherland and Lanny Griffith
Steve Robison and Lanny Griffith
Cruze and Lanny Griffith
Will Pendarvis and Lanny Griffith
Steve Robison and Lanny Griffith
Steve Robison and Jeff McMurray
Rod Ryan, Pam Kelly, and Travis Golightly
Rod Ryan, Teresa, and Travis Golightly
I don't think that's completely right...it got a little confusing in the middle there. (Not to be "confused" with former night jock Ken Fusion)

KTBZ was among the first of the Clear Channel stations to drop the Howard Stern show after the nipplegate incident in an effort to clean up the airwaves. (something along that line)

I think Major Tom and then Rex Oates did traffic towards the end of Cruze's morning show.
and here is a flashback....I remember some girl filled in for Cruze one morning while he was on vacation. out of the blue, pretty smooth, didn't know who she was, and then she was gone. Jarod, does this ring a bell?

Re: Anyone can do it -- I just did! KRBE, before and after (and a KENR aside)
Nice! Your right it is addicting. I want to go in and add info for the other stations as well. I had already started KTBZ & KKBQ.
You mentioned Dr Bruce in your KENR side note. I worked for him @ KFTX in Corpus back in '03. I was hired to run the boards on Saturday nights for the Country Gold Saturday Night show, run commercials, do weather and read liners. My first radio gig. Never had the chance to meet him personally but he was (is) the station GM. He would call in to check on things from time to time. Well he just happened to be listening one night and called in and told me I was sounding great and gave me a few pointers. A very nice guy.

Right. We know that but someone had posted that as part of KTBZ's history on Wikipedia.com. The question was who posts this stuff and where do these people get their info. Cuz its wrong.

There was some pretty serious rumblings about Stern when Pat Fant was GM and Secret Communications owned the station. Then Nationwide took over, and all of a sudden it was all Natalie Merchant all of the time.
Seems like the whole Cruze in the Morning was a stop-gap at the time. Best case scenario would have been Stern in the morning, Steve in the afternoon, and Cruze just as the PD. Cruze always wanted to be on the air for whatever reason, and that was before the days of multi-tasking, especially for a PD, became more common.
