WHEREAS, Morning drive-time radio programs help many Texans
ease into their workday, and for more than 12 years, radio
personalities Dean Myers and Roger Beaty have entertained listeners
in Houston with their Dean and Rog morning show; and
WHEREAS, This pair of high-spirited performers began working
together 20 years ago at a radio station in Saginaw, Michigan, where
their morning show was one of the highest rated in the nation; and
WHEREAS, Dean and Rog went on to host shows in Salt Lake City,
Denver, and Phoenix; in 1997, they moved to Houston, where they
hosted the morning show on KKRW for many years; starting on June 1,
2009, they will be performing on KHTC in Houston; and
WHEREAS, Their daily radio show includes such regular
features as the Birthday Scam, in which listeners request prank
calls to friends on their birthdays, and the Dean and Rog Singers,
who perform song parodies; and
WHEREAS, Dean and Rog also give back to their community
through their annual golf tournament and sale of their yearly "Best
Of" CDs, which together have raised thousands of dollars for
Houston charities; and
WHEREAS, Through their good humor and irreverent wit, Dean
Myers and Roger Beaty have helped Houstonians start their day in
good spirits for more than a decade; now, therefore, be it
