Mike Miller (via email to
webmaster) Topic: WTTG-TV in D.C. Comments: Ran across this old (1969) newspaper ad featuring
the names of the entire staff at WTTG-TV. By today's standards it was a fairly
small staff. I think there were 100 in the newsroom when I worked at WFAA-TV
in 1973.
Many of these staffers were either just starting out or becoming known in
the Washington market. There's Connie Chung, Maury Povich, Rowland Evans
and his partner Robert Novak, (they had a column in the Washington Post),
Hollywood reporter Rona Barrett and and Dr. Joyce Brothers. Povich was married
at the time and apparently didn't pay much attention to Connie until they
co-anchored the news a few years later in Los Angeles.
Most of the reporters had worked in smaller markets before jumping to Washington
and many of the names were behind the scenes types. They even included the
courier who would pick up our film as soon as it was shot and rush it back
via motorcycle for processing.
"IN COLOR SEVEN NIGHTS A WEEK." Interesting that they were still promoting
color in 1969, some five years after it debuted in Tulsa. The Metromedia-owned
station was considered the most successful in the country, largely because
it came on at 10 p.m. ahead of the network affiliates.

Stopping for pancakes sounds right. He frequently expressed concern about

December 24 2009 at 01:44:35 Name: Arm Topic: KAKC Contact Comments: I definitely remember the
radio show Beverly was asking about. It was called
"KAKC Contact." I know it aired on Sunday night, I believe from 9:00 to midnight.
It was a call-in show for troubled teens, dealing with relationship problems.
Although I was extremely troubled, I hardly ever listened to the show, and
only called once. Sunday nights were depressing enough, as I looked forward
to another miserable week of my life and that Monday morning alarm clock.
I'm okay now.
My only call to the show dealt with my buddy and I being refused entry to
"Easy Rider" at the 51 Drive-in in Broken Arrow,
due to the American flag on the back of his jacket. We called the show to
complain about it. We pretty much got over it and moved on the next day,
but I'll always remember turning on the show a few months later and still
hearing some losers debating about whether or not they should have let us
in.
That's all I've got.
December 23 2009 at 15:41:01 Name: Steve Hull (via email to

net Comments: My name is Steve Hull. Our father hosted
Sleepwalkers Serenade at KVOO then
later moved to KRMG. I remember, fondly, being allowed to go w/him to work
at KRMG (after KVOO) on occasion, a fantastic field trip for a little boy.
His was the early morning shift. The ritual for us on the way to the radio
station studio would be to stop and have breakfast at Bishop's? They had
the best pancakes that I can remember.
As we arrived at the station, I don't remember whether the building was unlocked
or if dad had a set of keys to unlock the door. Once inside the DJ area,
dad would prep and cue records. Sometimes he would let me cue the next record
while he watched to ensure that it was done correctly.
As his show started, I would wander around the darkened facility (low lighting)
and frequently ended up in one of the recording studios to sit at the piano,
entertaining myself by making up all kinds of things and sounds.
Sometimes being alone in the building felt a little spooky so would find
comfort being back w/dad and his show.
I can't believe that I remember some of the names of people that worked at
the station:
Milt Haynes? Leonard Haynes? Glen Condon? Lynn Higby?
Also remember a VW bus that dad would drive as a promotion for the station,
sometimes I got to ride w/him. He would drive in traffic and announce, remotely,
from the bus that he was behind someone else in traffic. He would call out
the license number, I believe, so that if the person driving that car was
listening to the station at that particular time, they would pull over and
stop. Dad, on behalf of KRMG, would reward the loyal listener with a silver
dollar. It was always a thrill when someone was listening and would pull
over.
Dad made radio work look easy, maybe it was or is? He did have a great way
of talking to people on and off the air. I know that he enjoyed it so.

He was a pleasant--if slightly hyper--fellow, but who wouldn't be with what
he was doing? We oldtimers repeat ad nauseam that "live" was tough, and it
was, but Ferguson made it look easy, smooth, and problem free.
Ferguson was the first truly personable narrator/host I'd encountered in

December 21 2009 at 01:41:18 Name: Dana LeMoine Topic: Mazeppa Articles Email: d4wdw@valornet.com Comments: Here are links to a couple of articles in Sunday's
Tulsa World (about the new DVD available from
Mazeppa.com):
Webmaster: A caption under the pictured "Mazeppa" matchbox cover states
that it "helped inspire" the show's name (which was actually "The Uncanny
Film Festival and Camp Meeting"). This may have been an assumption by the
caption writer.
There have been a number of "Mazeppa" products over the years, one reason
being that there is a town of Mazeppa, Minnesota. Other Mazeppa references
at Wikipedia's Mazeppa
disambiguation page.
On the history of the "Mazeppa" name: I had noted on the
1971 Gailard Sartain interview page that "Tchaikovsky's
opera 'Mazeppa' is based on Pushkin's poem 'Poltava,' which depicts the
historical Ukrainian separatist, Mazeppa, in both his political and romantic
exploits."
Writer John Wooley, who appeared
on the Mazeppa show as a member of "The Beef Squad", is a fifth cousin of
Lord Byron. The story of Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley in the
summer of 1816 when she took a challenge by Lord Byron to write a ghost story.
The June 7, 1970 Mazeppa movie was "The Bride of Frankenstein", which framed
its main story with a take-off of this historical incident.

sihawk@hawkshometown.com Comments: I first met Joe Henderson in 1970 while I was a
member of the KELi Explorer Post 430 group. Joe was an all-business kind
of guy but never failed to show a soft side for young people getting in the
business.
His voice was a staple on Tulsa radio and television for Safeway, OTASCO,
BJ Furniture Sales and a ton of others. Joe and Dick Schmitz pretty much
owned the air waves in local voice production in the 60s through the 80s.
Between Joe and Forrest Brokaw the members of our Explorer group got an
opportunity to see first hand how the radio business actually worked. The
Post 430 group enjoyed free baseball and stock car races and reported back
to Ken (Sutherland) Douglas, Dean (Jenkins) Kelly, Les Garland, John Steel
and Dick Ralston with live (and sometimes recorded) voicer reports. We were
also encouraged to produce PSAs for airing and create "long cuts" of the
Top-40 tunes being played on KELi. Those skills have served me very well
over the years.
A couple of years ago I was delighted to hear Joe on a local spot. It really
brought back memories. God bless you Joe!

December 17 2009 at 01:52:37 Name:
Gary Chew Topic: Joe "Kelly" Henderson Comments: Mike Miller's got it right, as does Mr.Sutherland
not so far east of me in Elko, NV. Henderson was pretty much all professional.
He did come in very early. He did the 6 to 9 air shift, "Coffee Cup Capers,)
I think it was when KELi came on the air. Bill Miller Kelly did the 9 to
noon.
I did the 3 to 6 afternoon drive. Seemed as though Joe was around almost
all day like someone who came in at 9 or so. We spent a lot of time doing
car radio checks in shopping center carlots all over Tulsa. I don't think
anyone at other Tulsa stations did that. We were always seeing how we and
KAKC were squaring-off with listeners.
I got off on the wrong foot with KELi. I had gone to the US Army (like Mike
Miller did about that time) while KTUL was transmogrifying into KELi. I had
a full time job at KTUL AM. I was told I would get my job back in Tulsa on
release from service. Raymond Ruff of OKC and owner of KELi wanted me to
go to his station in Wichita Falls. I like Oklahoma much better than Texas,
especially when we're talking about Tulsa. I found that I was legally covered
to be taken back at my full time job at 1430---to Mr. Ruff's chagrin. But
he respectfully obliged. I've always appreciated his action.
Joe was a good, serious, professional man to work for. My condolences to
his family. Joe and I are the same age.
I recently heard from Bill Miller, who now lives in the KC area, that Joe
was failing. Joe, as I remember, was a tee-total-er: no booze, no nicotine.
A pretty straight arrow, he was. Henderson was sort of a trailer-blazer for
the likes of the late Billy Mays. RIP, Joe.
December 16 2009 at 22:53:02 Name: Ken Sutherland Topic: Joe Henderson Email: ken at rubyradio dot FM Comments: 12/16/2009
I heard today that long-time KELi General Manager Joe Henderson died. Steve
Clem, a former KELi jock and friend of all things related to Tulsa radio,
forwarded me a 2-line funeral announcement from the Tulsa World that simply
said "Henderson, Joe, Broadcaster, age 72, died Monday" and went on to give
the date of the service.
I think Joe deserved more than that. The World should have done an article
on his contribution to radio and especially to Tulsa. Even if you didn't
know Joe, you knew his voice from the hardware store ads. Long after I left
Tulsa, I continued to hear his furniture store and Safeway ads. Joe's voice
was distinctive - there was no mistaking him for anyone else.
He had many accomplishments, and I am only aware of a few, but I'll spill
them here, and maybe someone who knew him better can fill in the blanks.
Start with the birth of KELi, Tulsa's 1430. I believe it was in 1960, fully
11 years before I arrived, but the story still echoed through the curved
hallways of the spaceship studios. At the time, Joe was the Program Director
who came up with the idea of a contest to name your newborn child after the
radio station, and win a huge pile of baby stuff. That is the reason that
even today, there are so many 49 year old people in Oklahoma named KELLY
or KELLI, or even KELi.
Not sure, but I believe the lower case "i" was his idea, too.
When I started at KELi, I was the all-night DJ, and Joe was the General Manager.
He often arrived at 5:30 AM so that he could record the ads he'd sold the
previous day, and get back to the work of running the station before 8. (After
40 years in the radio business, I've never seen another GM arrive that early!)
His commercial production was outstanding, especially given the dilapidated
old junk the station had for equipment. His work in that wedge-shaped little
production room inspired me to build my own career with an emphasis on
production, and today, even though we've gone from tape to digital, I still
use many of the techniques I learned from Joe back in 1971 and 1972.
My respect for Joe is not based on friendship. I never had dinner at his
home or even met his family. I was just a guy who worked for him for a couple
of years. And I certainly was not the best employee in the place! I was an
immature kid who bent every rule, and pushed the envelope as far as it would
go. But Joe understood. He knew what I needed, which was a place to grow
up, and he gave it to me. I'm sure I tested his patience to the limits, but
he never raised his voice to me and he didn't give up on me. Eventually,
I shaped up into a pretty good radio man, even if some might disagree, and
I have Joe Henderson to thank for being such a positive role model early
in my career.
Thanks, Joe!

Gary and I worked at KELi under Joe way back in the early 60s. Mr. Chew probably
had more dealings with Joe Henderson than I did since my immediate boss was
Forrest Brokaw while the DJs worked under Henderson, the program director.
Joe did station promos and a lot of commercial voice over work. I've heard
his distinctively low nasal voice all over the country. He once remarked
to me, ?You need two things to impress people. A nice car and a nice home.?
On my KELi salary, I always failed to impress.

Before I knew the answer to the question, I had added a caveat that it be

I therefore award a DVD to the first "Executive Inn" answerer, Erick Church.

frankdotmorrow@coxdotnet Comments: My first memories of Roberts was seeing his huge
tent that would pop up in the summers in large, vacant areas. It was a target
of derision and jokes. "Holy Rollers," they were called. (This was during
a comparatively secular time among the young in the US, even here in the
Bible Belt.)
The first time I saw Roberts was on TV in Hawaii in 1960. It was a healing
program with the whole range of throwing away of crutches, etc. One man came
in with a huge goiter that was so large it prevented him from bowing his
head. His chin was resting on it.
Oral laid his hand on the goiter, raised his head toward the heavens and
yelled out "HEEEAAL!!" He simultaneously gave such a huge shove on the goiter
that I thought it would either explode or come out the back side of the poor
man's neck. People had to keep the "patient" from falling backward and off
the stage.
Roberts roared, "Are you healed? Did God heal you?"
The visibly shaken man could not answer. He could only choke and wheeze.
He could hardly breathe.
The man was hurriedly hustled off the stage.

Comments: My brief recollection of the late Oral Roberts is lifted
from page 12 of "How High Can a Guy Stoop?"
"I covered the groundbreaking of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. During
an interview, I asked Roberts if he had ever heard Lenny Bruce?s classic
routine, Religions Incorporated, in which Bruce brutally pokes fun at Roberts,
Billy Graham, and other religious leaders. Oral said he had not, but, of
course, was not under oath."
I also recall covering a theft of a number of bags of mail at his ministry
near Boulder Park. According to a police report, one bag had about $13,000
in donations.
Roberts helped pave the way for other televangelists like Pat Robertson and
Jerry Falwell.
Roberts not only changed television, his futuristic university certainly
changed the landscape of South Tulsa.
The book by the way, available through this site and Amazon is a great Christmas
