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 the 11 AM newscast for May 1, 1996. (Note: I worked under the on-air name of Alison Fox.)

Stories include: 42 men arrested for public indecency at Hippie Hollow, the only nude beach in Texas. Austin Public Library downtown branch re-opens after renovations as the John Henry Faulk Library. Austin School Board elections, Austin crime rate rises only 1%, violent crime lowest of the major Texas cities, Child Abuse Awareness Month, KKK rally planned in New Braunfels, JFK & Jacqueline Kennedy artifacts draw big bucks at auction. Plus sports & weather.
