WKNR 1310: A 1965 KEENER DAYTIME COVERAGE MAP

**KNORR BROADCASTING CORPORATION** May 1, 1965

THE WKNR-AM 1310 KILOCYCLES TRANSMITTER COVERAGE

The WKNR transmitter and towers was located near I-94, between Monroe Blvd and Telegraph in Taylor, MI., in the county of Wayne. The 1310 frequency was a 5000 watt day (2 tower) and night (6 tower).

The Knorr Broadcasting Corporation purchased WKMH in 1956. The Knorr owners made the transition from WKMH to WKNR in late 1963.

The above map indicates the WKNR 1310 kilocycles daytime coverage in Detroit and into the extended surrounded areas in May 1965.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

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.
