My Senior year at Kennedy High school in Taylor.. it was my job to report the top Byron McGregor News Story of the day in my “modern Affairs” class in 1970
I just wanted to say R.I.P. to the best music radio station I've ever heard, CKWW, (sorry CKLW), it was recently sold and the format has been changed - and not for the better.
This is priceless and so much fun to watch! We are lucky to have this video and we were so blessed to have listened to all these great people with their wonderful talents through the years of our childhood! Thank you for preserving these fantastic memories!
Listen to CKWW if you live Cleveland or Detroit or Toledo they play CKLW songs you haven't heard in years some will make you cry they will jar so many repressed memories
Actually despite the on screen date, Byron died in 1995...way too early. We were also roomates at the penthouse of the Windsor Holiday Inn in '68-'69. We were also the youngest members of the CKLW staff..he 20 and I 21. It was a blast, and I have never been drunker than jan. 1 1969 when we attacked a 40 ouncer of Canadian Club, and MANY Labatt's blues after working the all night shift, and missing the party.
Yes, I know I got the date wrong on the video. But now I'm puzzled....according to this video, Hal Martin was Byron's roommate...if Jim Felton is your real name, what was your air name? CKLW was my favorite station, and I have tons and tons of airchecks from that great station!!!
Jim Felton's on-air name at CKLW was Mark Richards.He was there for just a year from mid 1968 to mid 1969 when he returned back to Toledo and WCWA. Spears most likely roomed with Byron after Jim left.
Byron must have had numerous roommates, because according to this video, Michael Spears was also his roommate! It took a couple of people to find out what your air name was, but now I know!
Great Memories! CKLW #1
John from Lorain Ohio 1970's
There must be a CKLW in Heaven
Golden! An era in radio that is gone yet enjoyed by many. CKLW was the pinnacle of radio in all areas

living in Cleveland, i didnt discover FM radio til '78. so CKLW was my first music discovery. Motown was a big part of growing up, and i'm glad it was
Still have the CKLW jingle imbedded in my memory banks! So glad that I lived in those times! What a rush!! Lol!

That is the best. So good to see and hear this.
Please take me back

I lived in the Holiday Inn - several of us lived there. Great days. The CKLW newsroom was a tremendous experience
I LOVE Canadian Club!!!
