KLBJ-AM/FM Newscast (Austin, TX), May 1996

Historic newscast from KLBJ-AM & FM in Austin, Texas, where I worked in various capacities as a news reporter, anchor, and radio personality for several years in the 1990s.

The LBJ Broadcasting Company was owned and operated by the family of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (Former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, and Luci Baines Johnson.) During the 1990s the family of stations included KLBJ-AM, KLBJ-FM, KAJZ-FM, and KGSR-FM.

This is the Noon newscast for May 1, 1996. (Note: I worked under the on-air name of Alison Fox.)

Stories include: major street closures for downtown construction, explosion at natural gas plant near Amarillo, President George Bush tollway in Dallas groundbreaking begins; new law outlaws cigarette vending machines; downtown library re-opens after renovation as the John Henry Faulk Library; 42 men arrested for lewd sexual acts at Hippie Hollow, Texas' only nude beach; 183/I-35 flyover construction traffic hassles continue; KKK rally planned for New Braunfels.
