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.

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!

To relive the WKNR experience 24/7 visit http://keener13.com/  On Facebook? Visit Keener 13 as well for all the news and updates and, much more. Motor City Radio Flashbacks salutes you, Scott Westerman and Steve Schram. Well over a decade there — still keeping those fabulous WKNR Keener memories alive.
