... that KANG couldn't conquer Waco?
- ALT1: ... that a company controlled by Lady Bird Johnson bought a Texas TV station from one of her college classmates? Source: Ryan, Terri Jo (February 21, 2009). "The beginning of Waco's TV history". Waco Tribune-Herald. In July 1955, the Johnsons' Austin-based Texas Broadcasting Corporation bought KANG- TV from Weatherby — more as a personal favor to the Hamilton tycoon than as a wise business decision. Weatherby had been a college classmate of the senator's wife, Claudia Alta Taylor Johnson (known by her nickname, Lady Bird.)

This was promoted, but unpromoted per WT:DYK#KANG-TV. It needs a new hook, or possibly as suggested by user:theleekycauldro, held for April 1 with the existing hook. RoySmith (talk) 18:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
