A MCRFB Note: Glancing over the above Detroit radio guide, it bears noting CKLW had Dusty Rose (actually last name is misspelled — not Rose — it was Dusty Rhodes) competing in the morning drive going against WKNR’s own Dick Purtan. Both were Cincinnati’s WSAI-AM radio personalities during a time in 1964-1965.
