Charlie Pena @ Clear Channel, Houston, did a super job of mounting and
captioning some photos of the CC/Houston stations. Included were photos
of celebrities being interviewed, the original KTRH site at a hotel (Kom
To Rice Hotel), the 2nd site, etc. When KTRH moved out of the bunker to a
high rise, the pictures ended up around the building. It was nice to walk
around and see some of the history. (They now use "Keep Tuned Right Here)

(Charlie is an admin type, not an engineer)

One I remember (but not the amounts!) was an early "program log". Another
was a hand written monthly budget.
