Yep. I sure do. I grew up listening to CKLW.
In my area the two top 40 stations on the AM dial were CKLW and WTAC, a much smaller station, out of Flint Michigan.
As a kid, I never figured out that CKLW was really a Canadian station since they were so interwoven into our local culture at the time.
A few years ago, I bought a DVD about CKLW:
Radio Revolution. The rise and fall of the big 8.
I saw it when it was aired on Public Television and I had to have a copy.
Anyway, watching the DVD triggered a whole bunch of fragment memories and tibits that have been bouncing around in my wee little brain for all these years since the demise of CKLW.
I loved their jingle....."CKLW, the motor city"..............
