The Carolyn Jackson Show: An Austin broadcasting legend at 92
If you lived in Austin in the ’60s and ‘70s you’ll know: Carolyn Jackson was a household name. She hosted The Carolyn Jackson Show right here on KTBC. Using footage digitized by the Texas Archive of The Moving Image, Good Day Austin’s Casey Claiborne interviewed Carolyn and…Carolyn even interviewed Casey.
Jackson graduated from high school in Taylor in 1944. She went on to earn one of the first broadcast degrees offered by the University of Texas.
At a time when men dominated the industry, she became a central Texas star, hosting The Carolyn Jackson Show on KTBC airwaves, and traveled all over the country to interview many of the biggest celebrities of the day.
