CKLW



AM 800 CKLW is a 50,000-watt, clear-channel, News/Talk station in Windsor, Ontario.  They are best known for being a hugely popular Top-40 station in the 1960s and 70s known as "The Big 8."  CKLW was as much (if not more so) a Detroit station as a Windsor station and often advertised products that weren't even available in Canada.  They also had a knack for picking hit songs that appealed to both a black and white audience--especially Motown Records product.
