As my 101 KLOL Documentary gets its own website and is rolling along, I thought in the meantime we would look at a new project that has just started concerning the legendary Houston rock station.

Runaway Radio Rewind is a new video podcast put on by the people who worked at KLOL back in its rock and roll heyday.
Pat Fant, who signed KLOL on the air in 1970, and continued to helm the station through the years, has started the new podcast as a weekly look at the legendary station.
Fant, who now runs RFC Media, an internet radio branding company, sat down to talk with me about the new project and the upcoming documentary.
"The work we did at KLOL in the late 80s and early 90s, well from 83 to 95, would not fly in today’s corporate broadcast environment," Fant told me. "No it would not, because we didn’t focus group everything, we didn’t test everything, we didn’t over test everything. We used our instincts and instincts were good. They could have just as easily not been, but it turned out that they were and we would go to lunch, have a great idea, come back write it record it. Put it on the air and it was running by 5:00 in the afternoon."
