Plus, WABC & WKNR [Keener]
CKLW played mostely MoTown - Smokey, Miracles, Temptations and all
@Rekkedge they played top 40 70's music way back, correct?
@trooper411 well, yes - 60's & 70's
More MoTown than rock like WKNR played
@Rekkedge fond memories
CKLW beamed strong into the states during daylight hours

They were a blowtorch station. Actually Windsor is what gave us 4 stations - ABC, NBC CBS, and the Canadian station CKLW TV channel

WABC nyc
WKNR was 100,000watts
About that time, out came the transistor radios. 9 volt battery with extending antenna and we were set
@Rekkedge Yeah... I used to listen to Seton Hall " Pirate Radio " because they always played bands no one ever heard of, like " St. Eve " She's bizzare, but good ! LOL

@Rekkedgewow ....transistor. we come a long way
@ColdBrewedFreedom Doesn't Lunatic Fringe almost sound like Floyd is doin the song ?? Very similar sound.

Whatever one must be careful of was "don't drop them" they would explode and then you needed to buy another

@Rekkedge LOL I still have my Emerson 8 transistor ! I use it in the kitchen every morning. It STILL works !! 😂
@Rekkedge do you remember the CKLW jingle at the top of the hour?
@trooper411 My memory is pretty good, but not THAT good
I left Detroit area in 1973 though, so...

By 1973, we were listening to EFFFF EMMMM
