Yes, CKLW was actually in Windsor Ontario, it could be picked up in almost all of Ontario, so strong was their signal. Remember Dick Purtan on the air; remember "..Sibly at Dix..."I think that was the location of a race track in Detroit, I remember their 'buy a car ' campaign when a recession hit Detroit in the early 70's. Most Canadian radio stations' call letters began with C vs American ones that began with W..as in WKRP or K in the western states. They also had an advertiser who said"...sell a lot of cars at a little loss and make a profit on volume..." don't recall who or what make. We can still pick them up from here...about 200 miles north...but they sure are different. I do wonder though, how they perceived themselves as "..the motor city..!" since at the time I don't think there were many engines being built in Windsor. Seems they wanted the listener to believe they were in Detoit. Was a catchy jingle though. Now, where is my Sony pocket transistor..! Ben.
