A WORD ABOUT LEN ROBINSON

Having started as a board-op on CKLW in 1965 for Tom Shannon, to this day, Len Robinson credits Tom as his one major mentor and influence during his early radio career, having worked the Big 8 and radio in general.

Ultimately, having been a CKLW radio personality by the late-1970s, all told, Robinson stressed as well how it was “a great honor” personally, having worked with other big CK radio legends and personalities. Such as Big Jim Edwards, Charlie Van Dyke, Dick Purtan, Brother Bill Gable, Johnny Williams, et al, during the glory years of the Big 8.

And what was his most exciting CKLW moment? Working there as a young, ambitious radio board op a long, long time ago, opening the mike and sayin’, “Tom Shannon is next!

 

Thank you Len Robinson, for recently sharing your featured CKLW memories (and photos!) with Motor City Radio Flashbacks. 🙂
