Documentary Trailer On Legendary Rocker KLOL/Houston Is Released

The Rise And Fall Of KLOL Coming Soon

The legendary Rock station 101 KLOL/HOUSTON has been off the air since 2004, and 15 years later a rock documentary directed/produced by first time filmmaker and media blogger MIKE MCGUFF has released its trailer with an IndieGoGo campaign.

"The reception for the trailer has been incredible," said MCGUFF.  "I can't wait to unleash the final film on the world in 2020, just in time for the 50th anniversary of when KLOL signed on the air. It has been a labor of love for me since I grew up listening to ROCK 101."

The independent documentary, tentatively called "Runaway Radio: The Rise and Fall of KLOL-FM,"  covers the 34 years (1970 to 2004) of one of the country's greatest AOR stations. The film explores the many on-air personalities including JIM PRUETT, DAYNA STEELE, CRASH, GREGO, OUTLAW DAVE, EDDIE "THE BONER" SANCHEZ, LANNY GRIFFITH, and many more

"If any HOUSTON radio station deserves its own documentary, it is KLOL," said former KLOL DJ and TEXAS Radio Hall of Famer DAYNA STEELE.  "I have seen the film and it brought tears to my eyes because I was taken back to that special time that couldn't happen again."

"The KLOL documentary shows the rest of the world why this station is still talked about to this day.  It will be the last word on a HOUSTON media legend," said TEXAS Radio Hall of Famer and founding KLOL father PAT FANT. "We didn't just play the music, we were a part of it.  Our promotions became spectacles. Our on-air personalities were the host presenters of the non-stop performance that was KLOL. This is why KLOL continues to enjoy the kind of profile that only a handful of rock radio stations would ever really achieve."
