It drilled into hyper-local utility like nobody’s business. While music stations might have given you the time and temp between songs, KTRH was airing farm and livestock reports with specific grain prices for the Gulf Coast, complete with humidity readings from the Port of Houston. They’d break down traffic not just as "heavy on 610," but which exit ramp had a stalled semi and the exact lane closure.
