KTRH

KTRH has been on the air in Houston, Texas since 1929.  One of their early broadcasting locations was (K) The Rice Hotel which was operated by the station's owner Jesse H. Jones.  KTRH was located on multiple frequencies throughout the 1930s and early '40s before landing at 740 AM in 1942.  Famous former KTRH employees include newscaster Dan Rather who was an anchor and reporter in the late 1950s and sports announcer Jim Nantz who worked there while in college in the late 1970s and early '80s.  Today the 50,000-watt station carries a News/Talk format.  Houston Rockets and Astros games are now heard on their sister station KBME.
