This guy has to hold the record for working at the most DFW stations:

KLIF, KNUS, KKDA-AM, KIXL, KXOL, KXXK, KTNS, KRLD, WBAP-FM (the original,) KLUV, KMGC and KVIL...and that was just here. He has credentials in San Antonio, Florida and elsewhere.

I'm still looking for details; this info came from Michael Main at WOAI (a former KDNT'er.)
 
He worked a quite a few in DFW. Seems like Art was also at KRQX for a time. He was the first morning drive anchor at KTNS. Followed by Bob Elliott. Followed by Harold Baker, who was morning drive till KTNS folded.
 
He also did voice overs for WFAA-TV. I got to tag along one day to watch him do a session and then get to hit a Richardson ISD pick-up pulling a trailer that failed to yield at an intersection on the way back to KTNS.

I also remember, on the day KTNS launched when, he put a mic in the control room to pick up the sound of a continuous loop cassette with the sound effect of a teletype machine. That mic was hot whenever the main one was turned on. 1985. Good times...
 
Yes he was on KRQX. He did some VO at WFAA for a brief period when Doc Morgan took a break in the mid-80s.
