August 7th, 1970 is the day that 101 KLOL signed on the air!
And no one back then thought a KLOL called “Runaway Radio” would now be streaming on Tubi in 2024! They might say, "What's streaming, man? That sounds groovy." Do you know who else is trying to figure out what streaming is in 2024? Local TV stations.
Besides streaming, you can catch a screening of “Runaway Radio,” at Alta Arts Houston on October 2, 2024, from 7:30 p.m. to 9. Scheduled to appear in the film’s Q&A session are Dayna Steele, Lanny Griffith, Pat Fant, Doug Harris, and your lowly Texas media blogger film director writing this post.
