Last night, in the back room of the Continental Club, I was asked by Trisha to take a picture or her, her sister Becky and David Beebe. I pulled out the camera and popped the flash and shot one shot. I forgot I had it in program mode and set to black and white.

It’s been the buzz of the blogs and now the Houston Chronicle confirms the deal for us:

City councilman and talk show host Michael Berry, who has filled in as mayor pro tem for the past year, is adding another title before his name: operations manager for Clear Channel’s three Houston AM radio stations.

Berry started calling the shots at news radio KTRH-AM (740), news talk KPRC-AM (950) and sports talk KBME-AM (790) on Friday.

Berry, who has hosted a morning talk show on KPRC for nearly 18 months, has little background in radio. Eddie Martiny, vice president and market manager for Clear Channel Houston, said hiring Berry was a departure from the norm.

the listener.
