WKNR BACK ON THE RADIO: JOHN SMALL, OCTOBER 1969

_______________

This WKNR recording was donated to the Motor City Radio Flashbacks archive, some years back. Accordingly, it was given to this site by the contributor who personally recorded the program on reeled tape, in October 1969. Since then, the recording had been converted into a digitized file for audio preservation.

A Sunday evening presentation, it appears the program may have aired on WKNR AM and, most likely was simulcast on WKNR FM. You will note the recording sounds as though it may have been recorded off the AM band instead, hence the static heard throughout the program.

Also, without any degree of certainty, not clear whether this was the original WKNR broadcast which initially launched the ‘Is Paul Dead?’ controversy. The nameless donor, in sharing this recording expressed complete anonymity. He resides elsewhere outside the State of Michigan today.
