Bill Arhos, R. I. P.

Rolling Stone: Bill Arhos, the founder of the long-running PBS performance series Austin City Limits and the inspiration behind the Texas capital's now-annual music festival, passed away April 11th at the age of 80, the Austin City Limits site reports. A longtime executive at Austin's KLRU, Arhos helped create the Austin City Limits concept in 1974. That same year, the show's debut episode, featuring a performance by Willie Nelson, aired on the public television station.

Texas has definitely led the way.

My successor is feeding the info to TV GUIDE magazine in such way that the ACL episodes don't appear in the magazine, which seems sad/wrong somehow.
