Remembering Bill Gable

___

Late Tuesday evening, September 18, Motor City Radio Flashbacks received devastating word from CKLW alumni Charlie O’Brien, Bill Gable had passed away.

A legend and one of the most popular DJ in Detroit during the 1970s, Brother Bill (as he was known at CKLW) spanned 46 years in the radio business.

His resume in broadcasting comprised stops at WEAM (Washington); WHBQ (Memphis); CKLW (1972-1980); CFTR (Toronto); WLW (Cincinnati); WMAG (Greensboro); WOCL (Orlando); WMMO (Orlando) and CHFI (Toronto) in 2002.

Bill Gable retired from Toronto’s 740-AM Zoomer Radio in April 2014.

Bill Gable will be remembered by his radio peers who knew him best — a kind and gentle man, a legendary voice, a Detroit radio great.
