In addition to the launch of a new political talk radio station in Houston this week, Houston radio saw a number of other developments:
KILT (FM and AM) laid off longtime newsman Jim Carola, as part of its elimination of its in-house news department.
Infinity radio (parent of KILT) will, according to David Barron, bring legal action next week, in an attempt to keep Charlie Pallilo from settling in as the main local talker at the new Sports Animal KBME-790.
And DJ Paul Berlin said goodbye to listeners of KBME today (in its current format), after a 54-year career on Houston airwaves.
