2016年1月11日 · CKLW gets minimal ratings in Detroit, so I'm sure these nationally syndicated programs from the US pay for carriage on the station to be able to claim they are cleared in the Detroit market. The replacement show is also US based, so the Canadian angle is the issue.

DIck Smythe was one of the original CKLW 20-20 Newscasters, and his understudy, Byron MacGregor, took his chair (Smythe was critical of the blood and guts style The Big 8 became famous for in the early 70s). Smythe covered the 1967 Detroit riots for CKLW and won awards, and is heard broadcasting...

2023年7月31日 · I’m surprised you didn’t hear KGB from San Diego at either of these locations at night. I’ve heard KGB at night up in the Bay Area before.

2006年3月8日 · I remember visiting Detroit for a convention in late 1977 and whoever the CBS station was in those days had a weathergirl with a ridiculously long name, something like Jo Jo Dancer McKelly or something like that. I remember she said she was going to be on a "Barnaby Jones" episode in a cameo...

2021年3月23日 · It looks like WVAL may have been relicensed as a new station. It shares it's two towers now with three other stations, which I'm sure Scott is aware of. The only scenario I can think of is that previously, it had electrically taller towers, …

2012年12月16日 · Long-time WWJ-AM (950) host Joe Donovan 12/14/2012 retired from the station’s morning show after 37 years. Joe was one of the good guys and had a good run in the Motor City from CKLW 20/20 News to WWJ. Wishing Joe and Rita the best as they start the next chapter of their life.

2024年3月27日 · I just discovered that Walt "Baby" Love was at KHJ before NYC (CKLW, KHJ, OR/XLO). Most CKLW jocks were offered opportunities at other RKO stations when the station was force-sold. That's why Walt's tenure was only 6 months or so.

2009年11月5日 · CKLW played The Boys in the Band as well. Get involved. We want your input! Apply for Membership and join the conversations about everything related to broadcasting.

2006年2月4日 · I moved this up from the thread below because it warrants a new thread--possibly misplaced, but i will leave that to the ahnds of those who decide such things. > > Boston------WMEX and WBZ > > Don't forget WRKO...they knocked WBZ off the the top in > their first book, and out of the format...

2015年2月1日 · Not much in the daytime, and a mix of several stations at night. The most common is CKOR Penticton, BC with EZ Rock...I don't believe they've ever gone down to 500W (daytime is 10KW). Also heard from Canada is CHAB Moose Jaw, BC with classic hits, also 10KW. KPDQ OR comes in weakly on their 500W...
