Susan Starnes, fmr. KHOU 11 and KPRC 2 reporter, dies at 73

Susan Starnes, a longtime Houston television journalist whose reporting helped viewers understand everything from the Space Shuttle program to medical breakthroughs, has died. She passed away peacefully on June 17, 2026, at the age of 73, according to her obituary.

Starnes spent more than two decades in broadcast journalism, building a respected career as a reporter, anchor, and broadcaster before later transitioning into real estate.

Houston viewers first came to know Starnes during her seven years at KPRC 2, where she served as the station's science reporter from 1981 to 1988. During that time, she covered 22 of the first 24 Space Shuttle missions, reporting extensively on NASA's achievements as well as the tragedy of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, when seven astronauts lost their lives.

In 1988, Starnes joined KHOU 11, where she became the station's medical reporter. For the next decade, she delivered regular health and medical reports on the station's 5 p.m. newscast, highlighting advances in healthcare and the groundbreaking work underway at the Texas Medical Center.

Her reporting earned numerous awards for coverage of the space program, hurricanes, health and medicine, and more.

After leaving television in the late 1990s, Starnes began a second career in Houston real estate.  She also briefly returned to broadcasting, working as a weekend anchor, editor, and reporter for News92 KROI in Houston from 2013 to 2014.

Former 101 KLOL, FOX 26 KRIV, and News 92 reporter Lanny Griffith met Starnes during her Channel 11 days and worked with her at News 92.

"Excellent writer, compassionate storyteller who embraced her subjects entirely," Griffith told mikemcguff.com.  "She treasured the written word and had a dark, wicked, and healthy sense of humor.  She was a story's best friend.  Terribly hate losing her."

Outside of her professional life, the University of Texas at Austin graduate was known for her commitment to serving others through volunteer work and her active involvement in her church choir, where she shared her passion for music and faith.

(Thanks, Bob.)

Doug Abernethy returns to Radio One

There is a leadership change at Radio One Houston as Doug Abernethy returns to the group as Regional Vice President over Texas, starting November 10, 2025. 

Abernethy tells me that when he walked into the Radio One conference this week, it felt like he was home.

"I had the honor of leading all the stations with my time at Cox and Radio One," Abernethy told mikemcguff.com.  "Now they are under one roof. It was truly a heartfelt family reunion. It is such a humbling opportunity to lead such a great group of talented people. I look forward to reconnecting with our advertisers, listeners, and community."

Most recently serving as Regional President for Audacy, Inc., Abernethy has overseen major markets across Texas and the South, guiding teams to sustained ratings and revenue success while fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation.

Based in Austin, Texas, Abernethy joined Entercom (now Audacy) in 2015 as Vice President and Market Manager for South Florida before advancing to regional leadership roles. He recently launched Austin’s 95.9 Texas Country.

Before joining Entercom, Abernethy spent more than a decade with Radio One, where he served as Regional Vice President for Texas, overseeing five powerhouse stations in Houston and Dallas, including  97.9 The Box KBXX, Majic 102.1 KMJQ, KROI-FM 92.1 Houston and at the time 97.9 The Beat KBFB and 94.5 KSOC in Dallas - Fort Worth. 

Earlier in his career, Abernethy held senior sales and management positions at Cox Radio Houston, AM/FM Dallas, Radio One Washington, D.C., and Entercom Pittsburgh. His success in building high-performing teams and driving market share earned him national recognition — including being named Radio Ink’s Major Market Best Manager in Radio in both 2007 and 2008, and the 2008 Radio Wayne Award for Market Manager of the Year.

So what happens to current Radio One VP/Market Manager Pamela McKay? Well, I am told she is heading to Radio One's stations in Atlanta.

Before joining Radio One Houston in 2017, McKay served nearly a decade as Market President for iHeartMedia Austin, where she managed a six-station cluster, Total Traffic Network, digital/integrated marketing operations, and the University of Texas Broadcast Partnership. 

Earlier in her career, McKay held key sales leadership roles in Houston radio, including General Sales Manager and National Sales Manager for iHeartMedia (formerly Clear Channel Radio).

The Texas Southern University graduate, known for her client-focused approach, McKay has supported organizations such as the Center for Child Protection, March of Dimes, and the Alliance for Women in Media.

Houston radio station says its transmitter was vandalized

La Ley 92.1 FM – La NEW radio station Que Manda en Houston – KROI-FM was announced as the replacement for the Praise 92.1 back in December 2024.

The new station is debuting former longtime Qué Buena 102.9 FM KLTN and syndicated personality Raúl Brindis.

Now FOX 26 KRIV's Sherman Desselle is reporting that the new radio station believes its transmitter was sabotaged.

"I can understand some people stealing copper...that's very normal," Brindis told KRIV.  "It's expensive, but this is different. It looks very intentional. I have more than 30 years in the radio and TV industry...maybe some people have been affected...business, something like that."

The station is now running with a backup system. 

Police are investigating and station owner Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (SBS) is offering a reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

RadioInsight reports that La Ley 92.1 had a ratings increase from 0.8 to 2.4 in its first month on air.  The station has not been that highly rated since the Boom 92 format.

'Funky’ Larry Jones leaves Majic 102.1 KMJQ Houston

Lawrence “Funky Larry” Jones (aka “Uncle Funky”) had his last day on his Majic 102.1 KMJQ Houston afternoon show he co-hosts with comedian Ali Siddiq on January 26, 2024, he announced on-air.

UPDATE FEBRUARY 1, 2024
Madd Hatta joins Majic 102.1 KMJQ Houston

The show featured calls from longtime listeners and other Houston DJs, who expressed their appreciation for the legendary DJ. Apparently, Jones found out last night that today would be his last show. 

Jones, who has been broadcasting for more than 50 years, was inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame class of 2022. He has also been named Billboard Magazine Personality of the Year.

radioINSIGHT reports that Jones joined KMJQ in 1994 to host the morning show "Jones & Company." Before returning to Majic 102.1 in 2014 to take over for Jeff Harrison, Jones also worked for Smooth Jazz 95.7 The Wave KHJZ and Gospel Praise 92.1 KROI.

Jones has been heard outside of Houston on other big-time radio stations such as WGCI Chicago, WBLS New York City, and WMMJ Washington.

The Alabama State University grad has been recognized for his work in the community by leaders such as former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (U.S. 18th Congressional District), Texas State Senator Borris L. Miles (District 13), NAACP Houston Chapter President Bishop James Dixon, and Houston Area Urban League President Judson W. Robinson III. 

radioINSIGHT adds that Jones' departure follows other recent high-profile Radio One (Majic 102 owner) departures.

Country Legends 97.1 Houston flips to K-LOVE

Country Legends 97.1 Houston KTHT flipped to K-LOVE KLVH on Halloween night, and no, it wasn't a trick much to the chagrin of country radio listeners contacting me.

Here is more from the Country Legends 97.1 Facebook page:

"Due to the sale of the frequency at 97.1FM, Country Legends has moved.  

This amazing station and ALL of [your] favorite Classic Country songs and legendary artists are still alive on the radio but can now be exclusively found at 92.9 HD2, online at countrylegends971.com and on your Country Legends App.  

Same station just a few new ways to hear it."

The station ended during the shift of Country Legends 97.1/93Q KKBQ DJ Corey Dillon, but then a special twist happened right before K-Love took over.

LISTEN HERE

Tom "Tubby" Lawler, the first DJ/assistant program director/music director for Country Legends 97.1, was the last voice heard on the station before it flipped on October 31, 2023 at 6pm.  

In a recorded clip from many years ago, Lawler introduced Marty Robbins' "Some Memories Just Won't Die" as the very last song heard on KTHT before static and K-LOVE made its Houston debut in the middle of a song. Lawler died in 2016 which makes it all even more sentimental. 

Country Legends 97.1 KTHT and Lawler debuted in January 2003 after the station flipped from "Hot 97.1." 

Lawler will be a familiar name to Rock 101 KLOL Houston fans who heard him on the Stevens and Pruett morning show.

The Houston radio format flip happened due to a couple of recent happenings.

In April of 2023, KTHT owner Cox Media Group sold its Houston stations to Urban One Inc. Those stations are 93Q Country KKBQ-FM, classic rock station The Eagle 106.9 & 107.5 KHPT-FM and KGLK-FM, and Country Legends 97.1 KTHT-FM.

The following July, Country Legends 97.1 was sold to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) which owns the nationwide contemporary Christian music radio network K-LOVE. K-LOVE could be considered a competitor to Hope Media Group's longtime Houston contemporary Christian station 89.3 KSBJ.  

Also sold before KTHT was Praise 92.1 KROI, a station Urban One had to sell due to Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) local ownership limits. After purchasing all of the Cox stations, Urban One had to sell both KTHR and KROI to be under the ownership cap. 

At the time of this post's publish date, Praise 92.1 is still on the Houston FM dial. 

Right as Country Legends was flipping formats, Rowdy Yates, a famous Houston country radio name, posted two interviews with former KTHT mornings/KILT DJ Dan Gallo which you can hear below.

Rowdy Yates · Ep.05a-Dan Gallo

Rowdy Yates · Ep.05b-Dan Gallo

Country Legends 97.1 KTHT sold to EMF

Country Legends 97.1 KTHT has been sold to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) according to RadioInsight.

UPDATE OCTOBER 31, 2023
Country Legends 97.1 Houston flips to K-LOVE

This after the April 2023 sale of Cox Media Group's Houston cluster of radio stations to Urban One Inc. 

For those keeping score, the CMG stations in Houston are 93Q Country KKBQ-FM, classic rock station The Eagle 106.9 & 107.5 KHPT-FM and KGLK-FM, and Country Legends 97.1 KTHT-FM.  The Urban One Inc. Houston stations are 97.9 'The Box' and Majic 102.1.

After the announcement, Urban One sold Praise 92.1 KROI Houston to Spanish Broadcasting System.

The reason KROI and now KTHT are being sold off after the big sale is due to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) local ownership limits. 

EMF already owns Houston's Air1 103.7 KHJK.

Praise 92.1 KROI Houston sold to Spanish Broadcasting System

Praise 92.1 KROI Houston has been sold to Spanish Broadcasting System by Urban One for $7.5 million according to multiple radio trade sites.

UPDATE DECEMBER 2024
La Ley 92.1 FM launches in Houston

The Praise format returned to KROI in 2021.

So why is this happening?

With Urban One (owner of 97.9 'The Box' and Majic 102.1) announcing the purchase of the Cox Media Group Houston cluster in April 2023 (93Q Country KKBQ, The Eagle 106.9 and 107.5 KHPT-KGLK and Country Legends 97.1 KTHT) two stations must be sold to comply with the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) local ownership limits.

That means one more station of this newly combined group of Houston radio stations must be sold and it will apparently be Country Legends 97.1.

Stay tuned.

UPDATE JULY 2023
Country Legends 97.1 KTHT sold to EMF

I've been covering Houston media for so long now that I remember when the old Hot 95-7 KKHH (now the 95.7 The Spot) temporarily changed to "The New Brit 95-7, Houston’s Brit Hits!" back in 2009 for the Britney Spears concert at Toyota Center. 

The New Brit 95-7 broadcasted Spears songs from morning to midnight. 

We can keep playing the temporary Houston radio station name change! I have to give you a reason to keep coming here everyday.

In 2021, Selena 105.3 FM playing only songs by the legendary Tejano star debuted.

In 2014, B92, an all Beyonce station, signaled the transition of News92 to Boom 92.1 FM Classic Hip Hop on KROI.

In 1983, remember KBTL “Beatleradio No. 9” on KYST-AM 920 Texas City-Houston?

I'm sure I forgot some others.  Let me know.

UPDATE

The city of Houston is celebrating Taylor Swift's ‘Eras’ tour by lighting City Hall in a "Lavender Haze"  beginning at dusk in honor of the artist and her mother, Andrea Swift, a University of Houston alumna.

Anavid Reyes leaves KPRC 2 Houston

Anavid Reyes left KPRC 2 Houston as its morning traffic anchor on April 5, 2023. Later in May, she  announced that she joined engineering consulting firm  Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. as its Corporate Communications and Community Relations Specialist.

UPDATE APRIL 2023
Justina Latimer joins KPRC 2

Here is what Reyes posted when she signed-off channel 2.

"It has been a WILD ride, and these folks made it so special!! I’m going miss them so much. 

And a huge thanks to all of our viewers, serving you was an absolute delight. 

It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later. Follow me on FB & Insta @anavidreyes … to keep up with all my mooooves!!"

Brandon Walker leaves KPRC 2

Here is what Reyes originally posted on social media when she announced her KPRC departure in early March 2023:

"My friends, it is with a heavy heart to announce I’ll be leaving KPRC2 / Click2Houston in April, as I take a moment to focus on family. 

It’s definitely not the easiest, but it is the best decision for me in this season of life. 

It takes a group of talented, creative, servant hearted individuals and strong leaders to produce a high-quality news product, so I feel incredibly proud and blessed to have been part of this team. 

But most importantly, THANK YOU for welcoming me into your homes, and sharing your stories, and venting about traffic with me. 

 I’m going to miss serving you all the most. I'll still be in Houston and will be out and about so make sure to follow me on Insta & FB: @anavidreyes to keep up with what I’m up to! But we still have a whole month together left, no tears just yet."

The real Reyes came to KPRC 2 in 2020 from KVUE Austin where she was also the morning traffic anchor since 2017. Reyes replaced Jennifer Reyna, who had just left KPRC near the end of 2019. Reyna later joined KHOU 11 in October 2021.

By the way, the Houston raised Reyes had previously worked at KPRC in 2015 as a web editor for click2houston.com.  Around the same time, she was also a feature reporter and web editor for the now defunct News92FM KROI.

She later worked for KTAB-KRBC Abilene in 2015.

The University of Texas at San Antonio grad interned for FOX 29 KABB San Antonio.

And before anyone asks, no, it was not the real Anavid Reyes who had a meltdown on live TV! That was a comedian. 

(Thanks Shad)

2022 Texas Radio Hall of Fame nominees

The Texas Radio Hall of Fame (TRHOF) has released the names of the fifty (50) nominees for its 2022 Induction Class. 

UPDATE AUGUST 2022
2022 Texas Radio Hall of Fame inductees list

The voting portal will open at Noon CST on Wednesday, July 20th accessible to voting members via www.TRHOF.net through Friday, July 30th.

“We’ve been continually working to refine, streamline, and demystify the nomination and voting process” observes TRHOF Executive Director Doug Harris, “and this rollout represents a major step forward. We are fortunate to have a group of outstanding broadcasters for our voting members to consider and, for the first time, biographical information on the nominees.”

Over 200 broadcast professionals with ties to Texas radio were nominated for consideration by the TRHOF Review Committee, which reached a consensus on the final fifty. Voting members of the TRHOF will now determine the twenty individuals who will be honored in the TRHOF’s Annual Induction Ceremony at the Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, TX.

“This slate of nominees spotlights the talent on both sides of the mic,” says Harris. “From the tower to the board to the conference room, this list of nominees touches every aspect of Texas radio. We have small town and major market representation that connects to a variety of formats and showcases virtually every position of service in the broadcast world.”

Selection of the 2022 Induction Class is the latest organizational milestone in a year that has, so far, included the TRHOF’s monthlong salute to the Pioneers of Black Radio and the launch of its inaugural scholarship program. The commemoration of the TRHOF’s 20th anniversary will reach its zenith during the organization’s Annual Induction and Reunion Weekend, November 4-5,

2022, at the Texas Museum of Broadcasting and Communications in Kilgore, Texas. Information on becoming a TRHOF voting member is available on the organization’s website and interested parties may still join—and vote—in this year’s selection.

HISTORY OF 92.1 KROI FORMATS

The New 92.1 Radio Now replaces Boom 92.1 KROI 

In the late 2000’s and early 2010’s Praise inspired Houstonians through difficult times on the 92.1 radio frequency. Houston’s Inspiration Station is now back on the 92.1 dial with a new and improved signal offering full market coverage in HD broadcasting at 40,000 watts and simulcasting on Praise 102.1 HD2. With inspirational songs and motivational content, Praise is providing a new all-star lineup of gospel greats to Houston.

Praise 92.1 DJ schedule

Houston can now GET UP and enjoy Mornings with Erica Campbell, award-winning gospel music singer and reality TV star. Erica Campbell creates a high-energy experience for listeners to start every day in FAITH, with LOVE and having JOY. Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell can be heard from 5AM-9AM weekdays.

Keep the faith while working from home with TJ Jackson, an award-winning Manager, On-Air Personality, Talk Show Host, Public Speaker, Voice Over Artist, and community leader. Whether she’s hosting a talk show or music program, voicing commercials, planning or hosting events, TJ gets up in the morning to make life better for someone else. Listen to TJ in the mid-day from 9AM – 2PM weekdays.

“It’s a privilege to re-launch such an uplifting and positive station, especially during these times of uncertainty where people are looking for outlets of love and hope to keep them inspired,” says Radio One Houston’s Vice President and General Manager, Pam McKay.

Pump up your afternoon with “The Willie Moore Jr. Show.” As a world-renowned influencer, Willie is a licensed minister and Comedic Speaker where many call him “Young America’s Pastor”. Gifted to tell stories, jokes, and share bible-based principles he’s irrationally passionate to #KeepIt100 and tell the #Flat-out truth. Tune into The Willie Moore Jr. Show 2PM-6PM weekdays.

Terri Thomas, Operations Manager of Radio One Houston says, “It’s in times like these where people want to escape from today’s challenging realities and listen to music that inspires and makes them feel good.”

Enjoy your evenings with Darlene McCoy. The song “I’m Every Woman” would be the ideal preamble! She bears a plethora of titles in an attempt to define her: Mother, National Recording Artist, Radio Personality, Actress, Author, Songwriter, Mentor, Entrepreneur, Comedian, and Speaker. It is evident that we have not witnessed all that God has placed behind this bright, shining star of a woman. Darlene McCoy can be heard 6PM-10PM weekdays.

The Praise continues every weekend on Saturday with the Spirit Top 15 countdown and shows featuring recording artist Ronnette Rollins, actress Veda Howard, award winners D. Stone and Willie Moore Jr. Plus a Sunday lineup featuring motivational speaker Krystal Lee, evangelist Cheryl Jackson and singer/songwriter Jermaine Dolly.
