After looking at Wikipedia and Spartacus I find this on 359-360 of my Douglass, Unspeakable:
Another Ruby-CIA connection that lay just beneath the surface was Ruby's friendship with Gordon McLendon, the owner of Dallas radio station KLIF. In an FBI interview, Jack Ruby identified Gordon McLendon as one of his six closest friends. When Ruby was arrested for shooting Oswald, he shouted out that he wanted the help of Gordon McLendon. Why radio station owner McLendon?
In 1978 the House Select Committee on Assassinations discovered that Gordon McLendon was then working closely with JFK assassination suspect David Atlee Phillips on a CIA propaganda front. McLendon, a World War II Naval intelligence officer in the Pacific Ocean Joint Intelligence Center at Pearl Harbor, was a leader in the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. Phillips, after "retiring" from being the Western Hemisphere chief of the CIA, had founded the group. Its purpose was to counter the widening, post-Watergate critique of the CIA that helped push Congress to reinvestigate the JFK and Martin Luther King assassinations. McLendon worked hand in hand with master propagandist Philllips at creating a less critical image of the CIA. On March 3, 1978, McLendon, Phillips, and Hollywood producer Fred Weintraub met with CIA director Admiral Stansfield Turner in his office to explore the idea of a TV series that would "fight back in defense of the CIA and other U.S. intelligence organizations."
In November 1963, Gordon McLendon was a less visible supporter of the CIA, but his Liberty Radio Network with its Dallas station was known for promoting a hard-line anti-communism. McLendon told the HSCA he "could not recall" if he had consciously provided a cover job for a particular CIA agent employed at one of his stations. He would, he added, have been happy to have his company serve as a CIA cover. He denied any knowledge of a plot to kill JFK. He also disclaimed being a friend of Jack Ruby, saying he was only "a close acquaintance" of the man whose first cry for help after murdering Oswald had been to Gordon McLendon.
In other sources McLendon wins essay contest judged by Luce. Joins Skull & Bones at Yale. Naval intelligence. And Lee Oswald attempts to call John Hurt in North Carolina.
Phillips seen with Oswald in Dallas summer of 63 per Veciana to Fonzi (Last Investigation).
Phillips was a regular handy man in the hemisphere:

Schneider, Schneider. . .I have no specific recollection, but I meet so many people in the course of my (wet)work.
Regarding Tippit, his actions were anxious, expectant. His death, so not-Oswald-involved. The credible witness, a black woman threatened by two white cops. The ballistics courtesy Veg-O-Matic hawked by a carny.
Oswald's stunt double was supposed to leap from the sixth floor shouting, "Sic semper tyrannis," trot to Tippit and eject revolver shells, dash past a ticket booth with fourteen bucks, be surrounded in the theater which would be set alight, die resisting arrest by fascist stooges.
Oswald cries Hurt; Ruby, McLendon.
Phillips must have epic face-palmed.
