WE GET PHOTOS! WEXL-AM TRAILER REMOTE PICS 1970

A WEXL FLASHBACK MOMENT:
A 1970 WEXL SNAPSHOT MOMENT: Robert Howe shared with Motor City Radio Flashbacks these two photographs taken in September, 1970. According to Robert, WEXL was doing a radio remote in Warren, Michigan and is seen here standing alongside with WEXL’s country deejay John Ramsey, wearing shades. In reference to the picture on the right, Robert also added, “The old WEXL remote trailer which they may have purchased from WXYZ because there is a photo on your site with an identical trailer with the WXYZ call letters across the front.” Thank you, Robert Howe, for sharing your special memories with Motor City Radio Flashbacks!
