DETROIT’S RADIO BOOM

— Tuesday, August 10, 1965 —

RADIO-TELEVISION DAILY

The above article, authored by Gil Faggen (Radio Editor) was published in Radio-Television Daily in August 1965. The report actually became a WKNR two-page spread (18 in. across x 12 in. vertical), having been folded down the middle. It was inserted in a large-envelope, mailed and distributed to sales personnel and station clients by WKNR VP GM Walter Patterson, sometime shortly thereafter the featured article was published at the time.

This website found and obtained this — rare — 1965 WKNR pamphlet (with the actual WKNR large envelope) earlier this year.

This Radio Report is today’s featured presentation on Motor City Radio Flashbacks.
