This is a piece of radio history. It regards Houston radio in the 1970s, in particular. It also is of interest to fans of several country music artists.

And it's a nice complement, IMHO, to the Wikipedia article regarding KRBE. (For a number of years, KENR and KRBE were sister stations.)

[edit] KENR

The information on KENR Houston is a part of the broadcast history of Houston and is a well researched and written addition to the Wikipedia. There is very little in the way of history of Houston radio stations anywhere on the web. To delete or shorten the information contained on KENR would be a disservice to those that are curious in Houston radio history. I would like to see more stations profiled in this manner. Please do not delete or change the KENR information.

[edit] Changes

Some of the information was incorrect. I updated it. As a native Houstonian and over 35 years in broadcasting, most of it here in Houston, I felt the need to clear up some inaccuracies. KRBE-FM was never known as The Radio Magazine. When The Radio Magazine KENR flipped it's call letters to KRBE, then 1070 was known as The Radio Magazine KRBE. I know this, because I was the afternoon host on KENR\KRBE during this time period.
