THE ‘NEW’ DETROIT RADIO SOUND: KEENER ONE THREE!

BOB GREEN PRODUCTIONS

 

In November 1963, 55 years ago this month, WKMH — 1310 on the dial — faded into the stratosphere while transitioning into a brand new Detroit radio sound. 

Today, and in celebration of that event, Motor City Radio Flashbacks presents a myriad of classic WKNR promos heard on ‘Keener Radio’ in the ’60s and early-’70s, courtesy of Bob Green.

A special THANK YOU to Bob Green for providing Motor City Radio Flashbacks with these classic recordings (back in 2001!). The audio presented here was transferred from three separate reeled tapes (boxed) and presented here for the very first time.

 

 

BOB GREEN * CLASSIC WKNR PROMOS * BOB GREEN PRODUCTIONS: REEL II

SPECIAL THANKS

 

Motor City Radio Flashbacks extends another special ‘THANK YOU’ to Bob Pratt, of Farmington, MI, for transferring three Bob Green Production (reeled) recordings to its present audio format, as they are featured here today.
