Early Photos of the KPRC TV Studios near Post Oak & Westheimer

I think the early history of Houston television is fascinating.  Jack Harris was KPRC's first station manager.  I can recommend his book,"The Fault Does Not Lie With Your Set."  Its only drawback is that it doesn't include Kitirik since she was on rival station KTRK.

J. R. Gonzales runs a good blog on Bayou City History.  He's posted some good photos from the Chronicle archive showing the old KPRC studios that stood just south of present-day Galleria.  You may remember seeing the Quonset hut and antenna.  I'd forgotten that the Post Oak Drive In was so close by.  You'll see how close in the aerial photos.
