This month we're sharing a few 50th anniversary shoutouts from former KERA News 90.1 FM staff members who helped shape who we are today. Abby Goldstein got her start at KERA in 1989 as a part-time host of NPR's All Thing Considered news program. Then she led the radio station for six years as program director starting in 2000.
We're so glad Abby is part of our story 📻 https://ow.ly/fqJi50SCP2O
THIS Thursday from 6 p.m. to close, 20% of ALL sales at ALL nine Rodeo Goat Burger locations will be donated to KERA! It's a tasty twist to our monthlong fundraiser, where $1 of every Radio G.O.A.T. sale benefits the station. Don't be surprised if you see a KERA, KXT or WRR 101 staff member at your nearest icehouse!

Bob Ray Sanders remembers the moment KERA 90.1 FM was switched on the air on July 11, 1974.
At the time, the station’s management was cautiously optimistic about starting up a public radio station in a media market with so much competition.
“People weren’t sure that it would work here,” Sanders said. “Who would want to listen to a public radio station?”
Fifty years later, 90.1 FM is still going strong, broadcasting quality local, national and international news to hundreds of thousands of North Texas listeners each day.

KERA News 50th anniversary shoutout: Bob Ray Sanders
Today is the 50th anniversary of KERA News 90.1 FM! Bob Ray Sanders was here in the very beginning. He helped pull the switch on July 11, 1974, that launched 90.1.
The Fort Worth native was a reporter for 'Newsroom' in 1972 on KERA TV – the show where he and Jim Lehrer got their starts – then went on to serve as manager of KERA Radio, VP/program director of KERA TV, and host and producer of the station’s award-winning program, 'News Addition.' He also became a Fort Worth Star-Telegram editor and senior columnist.
This month, we're sharing a few anniversary shoutouts from former KERA News 90.1 FM staff members who helped shape who we are today. We're excited about serving North Texas for 50 more!
KERA News 50th anniversary shoutout: Jeff Ramirez
KERA News 90.1 FM is turning 50! This month we're going to share a few birthday shoutouts from former staff members who helped shape who we are today. First up is Jeff Ramirez, former vice president and program director of the radio station.
Have a fun and safe Fourth of July, North Texas.
Here's a tasty, new way to support KERA: Order the Radio G.O.A.T. at any Rodeo Goat Burger this month, and a portion of every sale will support the station.
This Greatest Of All Time burger reflects our love of Texas: beef or other choice of patty, double pepper jack cheese, roasted green chiles, prickly pear BBQ sauce, cactus fries, and micro-cilantro 🍔

Residents living along the Singleton Corridor in West Dallas — including some who are near a decades-old shingle factory — appear to have a higher exposure to harmful air pollution and increased risks of respiratory illness. Those are among the findings in a new health study.
The study also shows that most respondents to a survey included in the study say they believe the air is being polluted by nearby industry — and that they intentionally avoid outdoor activities and opening their windows due to fear of toxic air.
Community members have long complained that heavy industry surrounding their neighborhood has been harming their health. That includes the rail line running along the corridor, batch plants — and the GAF shingle factory.
They say the new data reinforces what they’ve known all a long.
According to the study by Texas A&M University researchers, West Dallas residents are exposed to particulate matter (PM) “as great as eleven times the average for Dallas County.” The report also says residents in that community also suffer four to five times as much asthma compared to the region overall.
