I've heard one of the Ramar guys say all along that Hyatt would never give that gig up. It's what he's known for.
It's also what he gets paid to do and there are far worse ways to earn a living!
My old brain cannot connect all the dots- someone needs to relate to me the story behind his departure from KKAM for Ramar, then heading back again.
I board-oped his last show on KFYO before he went to KKAM. LOTS of angry calls came in the following day when he and Williams were no longer on the mighty 790.
I'd also like to know the real story behind why KFYO lost the TTU athletic contract back in the early 90s (or whenever it was) after having a near monopoly on it for decades. Couldn't find anyone around while I worked there that could tell me. I guess they all left/retired/or got fired before my tenure there.
Hearing Jack Dale call the play-by-play on KFYO was one of the happy memories I have of the 70s. Even the few times I was lucky enough to attend the game, I'd take a small battery-powered radio with an earpiece and listen to Jack. I could never understand what the guy was saying over the stadium PA system, but Jack's explanation of a foul or penalty, or the reason for a timeout was always spot on.
Boy how I miss those days sometimes...
