KLBJ-AM/FM (Austin, TX) News Reporting Montage, 1996-2000

Historic newscast from KLBJ-AM & FM in Austin, Texas, where I worked in various capacities as a news reporter, anchor, and radio personality for several years in the 1990s.

The LBJ Broadcasting Company was owned and operated by the family of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (Former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson, and Luci Baines Johnson.) During the 1990s the family of stations included KLBJ-AM, KLBJ-FM, KAJZ-FM, and KGSR-FM.

This is a collection of various news reports I filed for KLBJ between 1996-2000. (Note: I worked under the on-air name of Alison Fox.)
