I never got tired of hearing "Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to
.....(insert jock's name) followed by the CKLW top of the hour ID!
I'd turn the radio up til the speakers almost blew to hear how the op would
layunder some great hit like Stevie Wonder - Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm
Yours.
Later, I was fortunate enough to be one of those ops in the studio of "The
Big 8" doing those layunders myself. I still turned the monitors up so loud
that I almost blew the speaker cones across the room. Never got tired of
the extreme thrill it gave me to have the top of the hour being "my set" and
place to shine.
CKLW was the best radio station on the face of the earth at the time .....
in my totally biased opinion!
