DETROIT: WKNR ‘ROCK ‘N ROLL’ 15! WEEK OF 01/31/72

—WKNR 1972—

What would be 435 weekly WKNR music charts the station ultimately had published, beginning November 1963, this January 31, 1972 chart was #428. The last known WKNR music survey was published on March 20, 1972.

A reliable music source and collector had 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 any is known having existed, to this day.

Twelve weeks after issuance of this chart, WKNR became the former. The station changed its music format and call letters to WNIC, Tuesday morning, April 25, 1972.
