Motor City Radio Flashbacks is in search of anything audio relating Eddie Chase, renown Detroit radio legend in the 1940s and 1950s on WXYZ and CKLW.
His granddaughter, Kathleen Thompson (resides in Anchorage, Alaska), and for the benefit of her immediate family as well, has reached out to this site for any audio recordings of Eddie Chase on the radio, which may include his top-rated WXYZ show program, Make Believe Ballroom. Material we have yet to find and add into our Detroit radio archive.
If there is someone out there who may possibly have a recording of this Detroit radio treasure, please contact me at (copy and paste):

Canadian Government Drops Gavel; RKO Owned CKLW Must Change Hands to Canadian Ownership Or Must Dispose Station’s Assets
TORONTO — The Canadian Radio Television Commission has ruled that radio station CKLW in Windsor, Ont., will receive its license renewal until Sept. 1, 1970. But within that period of time, the station must divest itself of its U. S. ownership or lose its broadcasting license altogether.
The CRTC said that, according to its records, the issued shares in Western Ontario Broadcasting are now owned by RKO Distributing Co. of Canada, which is owned by RKO General Inc. in the U. S.
These shares must change hands to a Canadian-owned company within a year and a half or the station will lose its license. This decision was based on a Canadian government order of Sept. 20, 1968, which ruled that any Canadian broadcasting outlet must be “effectively owned and controlled by Canadians.”
CKLW applied for an exemption from this order based on its geographic and economic situation – the Detroit area which adjoins Windsor directly across the river. The CRTC could have recommended such an exemption if it had so chosen but in so doing it would have had to satisfy both itself and the federal cabinet that this action would not be contrary to public interests.
The commission said that after careful consideration of the petition of CKLW, it could not make such a recommendation.
The commission noted that it was granting the temporary license renewal to “give the licensee an opportunity to comply with its provisions or to dispose of the assets of the station.”END
