- ABC13 recently discovered what is believed to be the oldest recording of a live broadcast from the station.
While ABC13 has thousands of rolls and reels of films from stories that were shot, there are no recordings of actual newscasts or shows from the 1960's.
The show was called "Soundtrack" and was scheduled from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. The episode is from January 14, 1959.

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.
there are some old vids of 1950s Kittrik the Cat which may help
That’s true
Gotta love the dude picking up the phone for a "live" update.
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!!!!
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.
Cool.
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.
I too was around at that time in Houston, and I can remember my sister and I staying up to watch WEIRD on Saturday Night. It came on after the 10:00 PM News and some the movies they showed left me sleepless. We loved watching it.
I was in college at this time.

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!!
So this is what television was like in my area 63 years ago? Interesting since I live in the southeast part of Texas
The weatherman was Charles Harrison
Smoking on air like it ain't no thang...
Johnny Carson used to keep a lit cigarette handy too. Occasionally see him take a hit.
I think they stopped that in the 70's...
During that era tobacco companies got doctors to endorse various brands of cigarettes in ads, saying ludicrous crap like cigarettes aid digestion
@@EdExTechur I think it was later than the '70s. Carson died of COPD
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
Wow!
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
of course.
Who was the weatherman?
Hello, I recall the Howard Finch show. Live interview with Johnathan Winters. Too cool. Mohawk, Jackson, Mi, Capitol phone exchanges.
Whata Dame !
Is Charles Harrison still alive
Diggin' that sweet jazz! Some things never change - always trying to go to the gyms!
Houston was a one horse Texas town back then.

Yes, if you so chose one could pay that bill with three silver dollars.
Or did he pass away
Smoking cigarette on set you definitely don't see that
