THE WEEK THAT WAS
The week of October 10, 1968 was an historic week here in the Motor City. The Detroit Tigers (and the entire city of Detroit!) celebrated the team’s win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1968 World Series, Game 7 at St. Louis, on October 10, 1968.
These were the hits played on Top 40 WKNR, highlighting that memorable week in Detroit. Also, from across the Detroit river, many of the same records listed on this WKNR October 10, 1968 playlist was also played on the No. 1 Top 40 station on the radio dial at the time, CKLW-AM, Windsor, Ontario.
Detroiters joined together as one celebrating the Detroit Tigers ’68 World Series victory in downtown Detroit, late-afternoon, Thursday, October 10, 1968. (Click on image 2x for largest PC view).

The Keener podcast hosted by Scott Westerman, Curator of Keener13.com. (Notes by Scott Westerman).
A SPECIAL ‘THANK YOU’ GOES OUT to our friends and hosts of the official WKNR website, Scott Westerman and Steve Schram, for granting MCRFB.COM honors allowing us to archive every one of those memorable classic keener13.com podcasts Scott produced for the WKNR website from 2004 through 2006.
Scott Westerman
These WKNR/S.W. podcasts had been acclaimed by many then, as the consummate podcast medium at the time — a new form of entertainment, communication art suited for the internet — a template model how all podcasts should sound like — when they first launched on the WKNR website, 2004.
MCRFB.COM agrees.
Today, MCRFB will showcase the February, 2005, “ALL JINGLES EXTRAVAGANZA!” podcast. Motor City Radio Flashbacks has archived over forty podcasts the WKNR website produced a decade back. For Detroit radio purists alike, this was podcasting “Keener” gold for the 21st. century!
