Irving Archives and Museum recently acquired a Combined Family Album for the WFAA, KGKO, and WBAP radio stations from 1941. WFAA is produced by the Dallas Morning News and WBAP is produced by the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

KGKO was a local radio station from Wichita Falls. We thought we'd share this excerpt of “Uncle Scooter Reads the Funnies” because it is such great picture and we thought you might enjoy it as much as we do!

The history of WFAA and WBAP is really interesting because they shared a radio frequency from 1929 to 1970. (Click the link to read more about it.) They even had a schedule where they would switch off programing so that the other station could utilize the air space.

Here is an article about Uncle Scooter as well as an article discussing the history between WFAA and KBAP.

Enjoy!
