Default The Big 8 !

Wow! Just finished watching a great program on the local Detroit PBS
station called "Radio Revolution: The Rise and Fall of the Big 8". It's
a look back at CKLW (Windsor, Ontario, 800kHz) in the 1960s and 70s when
this 50kW powerhouse covered the eastern half of the U.S.

I enjoyed it on two levels--as someone growing up in Detroit during CK's
heyday and as one who was working in Detroit broadcasting at the time
and knowing some of the people on this show.

If you are into the history of broadcasting or grew up listening to the
station you will probably enjoy watching this program. It may run on
your local PBS station; if not, it is (or will soon be) available on DVD.
