Oldest KTRK show, 'Soundtrack', which aired in 1959 

Gotta love the dude picking up the phone for a "live" update.

My mother Maxine Fisher hosted a childrens show on KTRK 13 called Merri Melody in 1957. She was there when the station first signed on the air in 1956. I wish they had some clips from that show. I have lots of photos from the station at the time and shots off the monitor but no actual footage.

1-14-59...I was about 6 weeks old right here in Houston

I was 2 years old when this aired, but my parents always watched Channel 2 KPRC in the morning. I love these old shows!

Can @abc13 dig through yall's archives and post more vintage Houston post? This is the dopest clip and I'd love to see more old school Houston!!!!

Oh wow thanks 🙏🏾 so much for posting this cool 😎 to see what my mom was looking at when she was 5 year’s old in Houston!!

When I was a kid maybe around 12 years old I had a paper route on my bicycle delivering the Houston Chronicle. Mr Bob Stevenson was on of my customers in Northside's Lindale subdivision. I recognize him from watching him on television, I remember he was a very nice man and he used to engage me in conversation when I would visit him once a month to collect money for the month of delivering the newspaper. Great times ! Thanks for the old television footage.

I was a kid in the 1950s, so I didn’t care about “Soundtrack”, but my favorite TV show was “WEIRD” on Saturday nights on KTRK. It showed a wide diversity of horror/sci-fi movies.

The weatherman was Charles Harrison

So this is what television was like in my area 63 years ago? Interesting since I live in the southeast part of Texas

My mom was driving in front of studiwood food market when 3 teenagers in a covertable crashed in critacal condition mighty been that wreck i was3

Smoking on air like it ain't no thang...

Wow!

Hello, I recall the Howard Finch show. Live interview with Johnathan Winters. Too cool. Mohawk, Jackson, Mi, Capitol phone exchanges.

I do hope the families of the teenagers killed in the car crash they were reporting on were notified by the police department of their son’s death before they heard it on the news

Diggin' that sweet jazz! Some things never change - always trying to go to the gyms!

Houston was a one horse Texas town back then.

Whata Dame !

Who was the weatherman?

Is Charles Harrison still alive

I remember howard finch

Smoking cigarette on set you definitely don't see that

$3 a month for a gym membership?!? 😭

Or did he pass away

Mayberrian heritage!

I was born in 77 so all this ish is. Beyond me
