ROCK ‘N ROLL! THE WKNR MUSIC GUIDE: MARCH 20, 1972

_______________

After 8 years, 19 weeks, and 435 official WKNR surveys having been published since the November 7, 1963 premiere, this is, by all accounts, the last official music guide (03/20/1972) the legendary Detroit radio station published before WKNR changed it’s call letters and music format to WNIC in April of 1972.

A reliable music source and collector informed this site that the station, in essence, had publish one more chart, dated March 27, 1972 (which the collector is still in search of). Throughout the years having passed we’ve yet to see of such chart — anywhere — if such chart is known to exist, to this day.

One month after issuance of this chart, WKNR became the former. The station gave birth to a new Detroit radio sound on a Tuesday morning, April 25, 1972.
