General Manager

am - 10 am
His induction into the Country Music Disc
Jockey Hall of Fame in March of 2004 recognized Stratton for his
long radio career, which includes work at WPLO, Atlanta, WUBE,
Cincinnati, WMIL, Milwaukee, where he served as program
director, and twenty years in Houston at KENR and KNUZ Radio. In
1973, he was part of the team that brought the first number one
ratings in all demographics, twelve years plus, to a major
market country station (KENR). Dr. Bruce's 11.9 share of the
audience in the forty-four station major market has yet to be
duplicated. In 1974, Bruce was named Music Director of the Year
at the Gavin Radio Conference in Kansas City. He holds over
fifty record company awards for his part in establishing the
careers of stars such as Freddy Fender, Mickey Gilley, Gene
Watson, Johnny Lee and many others. Stratton is considered a
pioneer of today's modern country music format, being among the
first to advocate a departure from yesterday's "corn-pone"
approach to country music, and to strive for professional radio
first. Dr. Bruce has spent over thirty years working in the
major markets before coming to the coastal bend eight years ago,
and was also a inducted into the Country Music Association of
Texas Hall of Fame in the fall of 1999.
