KWKH has a pretty interesting history.

quote:

KWKH has a colorful history. Its founder, William Kennon Henderson, Jr., a native of Bastrop, Louisiana, often sparred with the Federal Radio Commission over his profanity-laced rants against chain stores and the United States government. Henderson's family came to Shreveport in the 1890s. The broadcaster initially enjoyed the patronage of Governor Huey P. Long, Jr., whose son, Russell B. Long, was born in 1918 in Shreveport. Ultimately, the outspoken Henderson lost Long's support and his radio license as well.[1]




(I had poated that Carlin and Wolfman Jack were DJs at KWKH but they were not. Carlin was at KJOE and Wolfman JACK was at KCIJ in Shreveport)

Yeah that didn't sound right to me... I knew Carlin was a rock DJ and KWKH was country.

I believe some of Carlin's old airchecks are on YouTube, although they may just be from his time in Fort Worth
