FROM THE ARCHIVES | ‘CKLW AND TOM CLAY SPLIT’ . . . JULY 11, 1964

From the MCRFB NEWS archive: 1964

Clay, CKLW Split ‘Amiable’

 

 

 

TOM CLAY 1964

DETROIT — The departure of featured deejay Tom Clay from CKLW last week was as an “amiable termination” based on Clay’s decision to quit because he was not able to spin his own records, and was not based on any difference of programming, as reported elsewhere.

Clay felt he was not doing enough on his show when not allowed to play the records himself, but John Gordon, CKLW’s program director, told Billboard that present contracts with both the engineers and AFTRA prohibit this practice at the station.

(MCRFB note: Clay’s departure “last week”, as indicated in the article, actually, was not correct. Clay’s last show at the RKO-owned Canadian station (Windsor, Ontario) was on Friday, June 19, 1964).

Last week the Tom Clay show was replaced by the Terry Knight show, Monday through Friday, 7 to 11 p.m. and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays. Knight comes from WTRX, Flint, where he had a similar show and was formerly a deejay on WJBK. END
