— ACKNOWLEDGEMENT —

 

A special THANK YOU to Larry Good of Saline, MI., for recently contributing this featured WXYZ chart — January 1965 — with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

We are pleased to say Larry also contributed 16 WXYZ charts from 1964!

Thank you Larry for this contribution, inasmuch, this site realizes these 1964 WXYZ charts are scarce, having become a most difficult find today. Much appreciated 🙂
