This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of the article are generally not sufficient for a Wikipedia article. Please include more appropriate citations from reliable sources, or discuss the issue on the talk page. This article has been tagged since December 2006. |
The TV Guide ads didn't show up, and I couldn't find them on the server, so I removed the image tags. I've placed them here, and when those images have been uploaded, go ahead and put them back in the article.
And according to CBS's website [1], Dan Rather did work for KTRK before joining KHOU, so I've updated the article accordingly.

[edit] Missing reporter.
There is a past reporter missing from this list. I can not for the life of me remember his name though. He was Hispanic, and the main reason I remember him was because he caught this person who had (assulted? raped?) this little girl. He had been reporting on it and the guy who did it had come back into the area and this reporter confronted him live on-air and evetually tackled him and held him until the police arrived. Anyone know who this person was?
[edit] "You're watching channel 13..."
Who was the guy who always did the opening announcements for Eyewitness News in the 70s and 80s? Does anybody know? Charles Harrison is listed as a station announcer, but I'm not sure if he's the same announcer who opened the news...

[edit] KXYZ-TV
After looking at the newspaper archives of both daily newspapers at the Downtown Houston Public Library, there is no evidence of KXYZ-TV. It has always been KTRK.
- After a quick check online, I think you are correct, it has been KTRK since the day it went on the air. The confusion seems to stem from radio station KXYZ's attempt to get permission to telecast on UHF 13 several years prior. Between the time KXYZ first applied and channel 13 actually going on air a consortium of owners was agreed upon and the call letters changed to KTRK by the time it first broadcast. The blog Houston Radio History gives a fairly detailed timeline of the early years of Houston tv. Perhaps someone else will check another source to verify this, and tidy up this error.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:KTRKHNL.jpg
Image:KTRKHNL.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
