WXYZ RADIO 1270 BACK ON THE RADIO: JOEY REYNOLDS
WXYZ RECALLED on MOTOR CITY RADIO FLASHBACKS
JOEY REYNOLDS | DATE: TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1966
— JOEY REYNOLDS —
_______________
Today we present a selected WXYZ Joey Reynolds audio extraction from the Motor City Radio Flashbacks airchecks library.
Long archived in the collection, this audio file has been digitally renewed, enhanced in sound, much improved overall (note there are several ‘drop-out’ flaws in place from the original recording).
Also corrected was the recording’s faster speed pitch, having slowed the recording down to a more ‘normal’ state than what the original recording archived sounded previously.
Another classic Motor City radio flashback. Joey Reynolds on WXYZ. This month, fifty-five years ago.

1966: THE 4 SEASONS SINGS JOEY REYNOLDS FOR WXYZ!
_______________
In 1966, WXYZ radio promoted heavily Joey Reynolds’ anticipated arrival from Cleveland to Detroit. Having been discovered by Lee Alan on radio WIXY 1260 while on a business trip there, one of the station’s promotions was having distributed for their listeners this record 45, “Joey Reynolds’ Theme”, as recorded by The 4 Seasons. Joey Reynolds was the late-night personality on Radio 1270 from 9-midnight. Short-lived at the station, Reynolds tenure on WXYZ was a little over 6 months, from April to October of that year.
