KHOU 11 behind the scenes 2021 vs 1968

Brandi Smith

 KHOU 11 anchor Brandi Smith takes us on a behind the scenes tour of her morning routine during the #HTownRush newscast.



TV newsers might recognize her use of Tagboard, but what I didn't know is that channel 11 used PowerPoint to power their monitors behind the reporters!

Now, let's juxtapose Smith's look to news director Dick John's behind the scenes look from 1968!

Clearly lots has changed in 53 years including the fact that KHOU had to move from its 1945 Allen Parkway address to the post Hurricane Harvey 5718 Westheimer studio.
