Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the KLOL Documentary IndieGoGo campaign. It's not too late to support the film, but we are only days from the end of the campaign! SEE IT NOW.
Here are some stories from the Rock101movie.com website about KLOL in the 1970s.
What music was KLOL playing in 1971?
I’ve been getting questions concerning what 101 KLOL Houston was playing in the 1970s. Thanks to what was called the K-101 “Music Sheet,” we have definite proof. The K-101 Music Sheet was a pamphlet that I guess was available for free at Houston record stores.
The crazy world of 101 KLOL in the Rice Hotel
The man who signed on KLOL, Pat Fant, talks about the early days of the legendary rock station. This is way before the AOR landed in Montrose where it remained for decades. When the FM rocker signed in 1970, it was located in the Rice Hotel in downtown Houston.
What did 101 KLOL sound like in 1979?
In November of 1979, the Iran hostage crisis started, Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy for US President and the Houston Astros signed Nolan Ryan to record 4 year $4.5 million contract according to onthisday.com. In the course of working on my 101 KLOL documentary, I ran into former DJ Greg Thomas who worked mid-days and afternoons on Houston’s legendary rock station back in November of 1979.
